To minimize possible damage to the battery and allow
the battery to be fully charged, the slow charging meth-
od is presented here. This charging method can be ac-

Do not charge a frozen battery because it can ex-
plode and cause injury. Let the battery warm to
60
_F (15.5_ C) before connecting to a charger.
Charge the battery in a well-ventilated place to
dissipate gases produced from charging. These
gases are explosive; keep open flame and elec-
trical spark away from the battery. Do not smoke.
Nausea may result if the gases are inhaled. Un-
plug the charger from the electrical outlet before
connecting or disconnecting the charger leads
from the battery posts.

Occasionally check the temperature of the battery

or the electrolyte is violently gassing or spewing, the
charging rate must be lowered or temporarily stopped.
