Battery Preparation
WARNING
WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND EYEGLASSES
WHEN SERVICING THE BATTERY.
NOTE: Do not service the battery unless it will be put
into regular service within 30 days.
Some original equipment and service batteries are
supplied with acid packs.
1. To fill the dry battery, remove the vent cap from the
battery and the sealing cap from the acid pack.
Carefully tip the acid pack into the battery vent ports.
2. Set battery aside and allow it to cool and stabilize for
at least 30 minutes. Reinstall the battery vent cap.
NOTE: This is the last time that electrolyte should be
added.
3. Charge battery at 1/10 of its amp/hour rating.
Example:1/10 of 9 amp battery =.9 amps, 1/10 of 14
amp battery = 1.4 amps, 1/10 of 18 amp battery = 1.8
amps (recommended charging rates).
4. Check specific gravity of each cell with a hydrometer
to ensure each has a reading of 1.270 or higher.
5. Install vent cover.
NOTE: Once the vent cover is installed, the battery is
sealed. Do not remove the cover.
