(For non-accessible maintenance-free type batteries.)
Maintenance-free, non-accessible batteries are designed to
eliminate the need to add water. Yet the volume of electrolyte above
plates may eventually become depleted due to abnormal conditions
such as high heat or improper regulator setting. Use a voltmeter to
check the state of charge. (See reference chart below to determine
if charging is necessary.)

 Battery Charging
DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
• When the battery is being activated, hydrogen and oxygen
gases in the battery are extremely explosive. Keep open
sparks and flames away from the battery at all times,
especially when charging the battery.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury:
• When disconnecting the cable from the battery, start with
the negative terminal first. When connecting the cable to
the battery, start with the positive terminal first.
• Never check battery charge by placing a metal object
across the posts.
Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the battery cover.
4. To slow charge the battery, connect the battery positive terminal
to the charger positive terminal and the negative to the negative,
then recharge in the standard fashion.
5. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially charge
the battery at a high rate and in a short time. When using a
boost-charged battery, it is necessary to recharge the battery as
early as possible. Failure to do this will shorten the battery's
service life.
6. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use battery of
equal specification shown in table 1.
