Charging
CAUTION
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-
complished with a constant current battery charger
which is available in most shops.
Do not charge a frozen battery because it can ex-
plode and cause injury. Let the battery warm to
oF (15.5o 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.
CAUTION
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when us-
ing a battery charger.

Three hours prior to the end of the charging, mea-
sure the specific gravity of a battery cell once per hour.
The battery is fully charged when the cells are gassing
freely at a low charging rate and there is less than a
0.003 change in specific gravity for three consecutive
readings.
