CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
Charging method using a constant voltage charger
Charge the battery until the charging
voltage reaches 15 V.
Leave the battery unused for more than
30 minutes before measuring its open-cir-
cuit voltage.
12.8 V → Charging is complete.
12.0 ~ 12.7 V → Recharging is required.
Under 12.0 V → Replace the battery.
CAUTION:
Constant amperage chargers are not
suitable for charging MF batteries.
Measure the open-circuit
voltage prior to charging.
Connect a charger and
ammeter to the battery
and start charging.
Is the amperage higher
than the standard charg-
ing amperage written on
the battery?
NOTE:
Set the charging time to a maxi-
mum of 20 hours.
This type of battery charger cannot
charge an MF battery. A variable-volt-
age charger is recommended.
