CONVENTIONAL BATTERY

NOTE: Do not service the battery unless it will be
put into regular service within 30 days.

Battery Preparation

1. Fill battery with electrolyte to the upper level marks on the
case.
2. Set battery aside and allow it to cool and stabilize for at least
30 minutes.
3. Add electrolyte to bring the level back to the upper level
mark on the case.
NOTE: This is the last time electrolyte is added.
After charging the battery, only add distilled water.
4. 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).
5. Check specific gravity of each cell with a hydrometer to
ensure each has a reading of 1.270 or higher.
6. Install vent covers.

Refilling a Conventional Battery

The normal charge/discharge cycle of a battery causes the cells
to give off gases. These gases, hydrogen and oxygen, are the
components of water. Because of the loss of these gases and the
lowering of the electrolyte level, it will be necessary to add pure,
clean distilled water to bring the fluid to the proper level. After
filling, charge the battery to raise the specific gravity to 1.270 or
greater.

FRESH PACK BATTERY

NOTE: Do not service the battery unless it will be
put into regular service within 30 days.
Battery Preparation
Some models are equipped with a fresh pack battery. These
batteries require filling with electrolyte and a full charge prior to
service.
1. Fill battery with electrolyte to the upper level marks on the
case.
2. Set battery aside and allow it to cool and stabilize for at least
30 minutes.
3. Add electrolyte to bring the level back to the upper level
mark on the case.
NOTE: This is the last time that electrolyte should
be added.
4. 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).
5. Check specific gravity of each cell with a hydrometer to
ensure each has a reading of 1.270 or higher.
6. Install vent cover.
NOTE: Once the vent cover is installed, the battery
is sealed. Do not remove the cover.
