Description

Charge the Battery

This Tester uses a rechargeable 12 V lead-acid battery for power.
Storing rechargeable lead-acid batteries in a low-charged state could
decrease their life and cause damage. Fully charge the battery before
storing it for extended periods and examine the charge at regular
intervals.
Charge the 12 V lead-acid battery with the ac power cord. Expect up
to 12 hours to fully charge the battery. Do not charge in very high or
low temperatures. Charge the battery if the Tester is not used for
extended periods. Figure 1 shows how to connect the Tester to a
power supply.
