Charging method using a variable-current (voltage) type charger
Charger
El EJ
AMP meter
ooo
.---------
Measure the open-circuit
voltage prior to charging.
Connect a charger and
AMP meter to the battery
and start charging.
Make sure thanhe
current is higher than the
standard charging current
written on the battery.
NOTE:
----------
Vo It age should be measured 30 minutes
after the machine is stopped.
NOTE:
----------
Set the charging voltage at 16
~
17 V. (If
the setting is lower, charging will be
insufficient. If too high, the battery will
be over-charged.)
NO
By turning the charging
voltage adjust dial, set the
charging voltage at 20
~
25 V.
Adjust the voltage so that the
current is at the standard
charging level.
YES
Monitor the amperage for
Set the timer according to the
charging time suitable for the
open-circuit voltage.
Refer to "Battery condition
checking steps."
3
~
5 minutes to check if the
standard charging current is
reached.
NO
If the current does not
exceed the standard
charging current after 5
minutes, replace the battery.
If charging requires more than 5 hours, it is advisable to check the
charging current after a lapse of 5 hours. If there is any change in the
amperage, readjust the voltage to obtain the standard charging
current.
Measure the battery open-circuit voltage after leaving the battery
1.mused for more than 30 minutes.
12.8 V or more --- Charging is complete.
12.7 V or less --- Recharging is required.
Under 12.0 V --- Replace the battery.
