INTIAL CHARGING

Filling electrolyte
Remove the short sealed tube "A" before filling electrolyte. Fill
the battery with electrolyte (dilute sulfuric acid solution with acid
concentration of 35.0% by weight, having a specific gravity of
1.28 at 20 °C up to indicated UPPER LEVEL. Electrolyte should
be always cooled below 30 °C before filling into battery. Leave
battery standing for half an hour after filling. Add additional elec-
trolyte if necessary. Charge battery with current as described in
the tables shown below.
Maximum charging current: 0.5 A... YB5L –B
Charging time
The charging time for a new battery is determined by the number of months that have elapsed since the
date of manufacture. Confirmation for date of manufacture Date of manufacture is indicated by a three-part
number 1, as shown in the photograph, each indicating month, date and year. Near the end of charging
period, adjust the specific gravity of electrolyte to value specified. After charging ,adjust the electrolyte level
to the UPPER LEVEL with DISTILLED WATER

SERVICING
