CHARGING THE BATTERY






CAUTION:
- Do not "quick charge" a fully discharged battery.
- Keep the battery away from open flame while it is being charged.
- When connecting the charger, connect the leads first, then turn on the charger. Do not turn on the charger first, as this may cause a spark.
- If battery electrolyte temperature rises above 55°C (131 °F), stop charging. Always charge battery at a temperature below 55°C (131°F).
