You can also use the battery charger to test the battery's off load voltage,
startability and the generator capacity.
Remove the battery and check the charging level. Use a voltmeter to
measure the voltage between the battery poles (off-load voltage).
Accurate results can only be obtained if the battery has neither been charged
nor discharged during a period of 30 minutes preceding the measuring.
Recharging is not required if the voltage exceeds 12.4 V.
Recharge if the voltage is below 12.4 V.

max. of 14.4 volts.
For a quick charge, do not charge the battery longer than 1 hour with 4.5
amperes and a max. of 14.4 volts.
