charging.
TIP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~­
Voltage should be measured 30 minutes after
the engine is stopped.
b. Connect a charger and ammeter to the bat-
tery and start charging.
TIP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set the charging voltage to 16-17 V. If the set-
ting is lower, charging will be insufficient. If too
high, the battery will be over-charged.
c. Make sure that the current is higher than the
standard charging current written on the bat-
tery.
TIP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the current is lower than the standard charging
current written on the battery, set the charging
voltage adjust dial at 20-24 V and monitor the
amperage for 3-5 minutes to check the battery.
• Standard charging current is reached
Battery is good.
• Standard charging current is not reached
Replace the battery.
d. Adjust the voltage so that the current is at the
standard charging level.
e. Set the time according to the charging time
suitable for the open-circuit voltage.
f. If charging requires more than 5 hours, it is
advisable to check the charging current after
a lapse of 5 hours. If there is any change in
the amperage, readjust the voltage to obtain
the standard charging current.
g. Measure the battery open-circuit voltage after
leaving the battery unused for more than 30
minutes.
12.8 V or more --- Charging is complete.
12.7 V or less --- Recharging is required.
Under 12.0 V --- Replace the battery .

Charging method using a constant voltage
charger
a. Measure the open-circuit voltage prior to
charging.
TIP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Voltage should be measured 30 minutes after
the engine is stopped.
b. Connect a charger and ammeter to the bat-
tery and start charging.
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
c. Make sure that the current is higher than the
standard charging current written on the bat-
tery.
TIP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~­
lf the current is lower than the standard charging
current written on the battery, this type of battery
charger cannot charge the VALA (Valve Regu-
lated Lead Acid) battery. A variable voltage
charger is recommended.
d. Charge the battery until the battery's charg-
ing voltage is 15 V.
TIP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~­
Set the charging time at 20 hours (maximum).
e. Measure the battery open-circuit voltage after
leaving the battery unused for more than 30
minutes.
12.8 V or more --- Charging is complete.
12.7 V or less --- Recharging is required.
Under 12.0 V --- Replace the battery.
