MAINTENANCE-FREE BATTERY
In case of a maintenance-free battery (the battery has no free-
ly accessible plugs), only the no-load voltage on terminals is
checked. The batteries cannot be replenished. If the no-load
voltage is 12.6 V and more, the battery is fully charged. If the no-
load voltage is below 12.4 V, the battery should be charged im-
mediately. After the battery is charged, leave it to stand for 2–3
hours and then measure the voltage again. It is recommended
to be mounted 24 hours after charging.
Note
The no-load voltage is the voltage measured at the terminals of
the battery which was at rest for at least 12 hours – was neither
charged nor discharged.
Do NOT turn over the batteries, electrolyte may pour out
