16 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Info Even when there is no load on the 12-V battery, it discharges steadily each day. The charging level and the method of charging are very important for the service life of the 12-V battery. Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the service life of the battery. If the charging current, charging voltage, or charging time is exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the safety valves.
