BATTERY INSPECTION

NOTICE
• This is an VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead
Acid, battery. Never remove the sealing
caps because the balance between cells
will not be maintained and battery perfor-
mance will deteriorate.
• Charging time, charging amperage and
charging voltage for an VRLA (Valve Regu-
lated Lead Acid) battery are different from
those of conventional batteries. The VRLA
(Valve Regulated
should be charged as explained in the
charging method illustrations. If the bat-
tery is overcharged, the electrolyte level
will drop considerably. Therefore, take
special care when charging the battery.
TIP
Since VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) bat-
teries are sealed, it is not possible to check the
charge state of the battery by measuring the
specific gravity of the electrolyte. Therefore,
the charge of the battery has to be checked by
measuring the voltage at the battery terminals.
