WARNING
Do not charge a battery quickly.
CAUTION:
Do not use a battery charger quick charge,
and requiring a high amperage in the battery
quickly and can cause overheating and
damage the battery plates.
If it is impossible to regulate the charging
current to the battery charger, be careful not
to overcharge the battery.
When charging a battery, be sure to remove
it from the vehicle. (If the load mounted on
the vehicle, disconnect the negative battery
terminal.)
To reduce the risk of ignition, do not connect the
battery charger until the cables battery charger
connected to the battery.
Before removing wires from the battery
charger, the battery terminals, be sure to turn
off the battery charger. Make sure the battery
charger cables are properly connected to the
battery terminal and are not shorted. A charger
with corroded wires can generate heat in the
contact area and a weak clip can cause
sparks.
If the battery becomes hot to the touch, at any
time during the charging process, disconnect
the charger from the battery and let the
battery cool before reconnecting. A warm
battery can explode!

COMPONENTES ELÉCTRICOS
Charging method with a charger
(voltage) variable
a. Measuring the open circuit voltage prior to
charging.
NOTE:
The voltage should be measured after 30
minutes without using the battery.
b. Connect a charger and an ammeter to the
battery and start charging.
c. Make sure that the current is higher than the
standard charging current in the battery
written.
NOTE:
If the load current is less than written charge level in
the battery, the voltage setting of the load
20-24 V and make up the amperage for
3-5 minutes to check the battery.
• If the load current standard was reached by
the battery is good.
• If the load current standard was not met
by battery replace battery.
d. Adjust the voltage range so that the normal load
level.
e. Set time in accordance with the appropriate
charge time for the voltage to the circuit open.
f. If the load required more than 5 hours, it is
advisable to control the charging current after 5
hours. If there is any change in the amperage,
readjust the voltage to obtain the standard
charging level.
g. Measuring the load voltage of the battery open
circuit, after having been unused for more than
30 minutes.
12.8 V or more --- Charging
complete.
12.7 V or less --- Recharging is required.
Under 12.0 V --- Replace the battery.
