Battery 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 commonly available.
Do not charge a frozen battery because it can ex-
plode and cause injury. Let the battery warm to
o
F (15.5  C) before connecting to a charger.

o
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   battery   charger    manufacturer’s
instructions when using a battery charger.
NOTE:  Using specific gravity of the battery cells is the
most accurate method of determining battery condition.
3.
Following  the  battery charger  manufacturer’s
instructions, connect the charger cables to the battery.
Make sure a good connection is made.

electrolyte. If the temperature exceeds 125oF (51.6oC)
or the  electrolyte is violently  gassing or spewing,  the
charging rate must be lowered or temporarily stopped.

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
