CHARGING THE BATTERY

Remove the battery and check its charge.
Using an open-circuit multimeter (10-12
hours after the activation), check that the
voltage is greater than 12.6 V. If it is lower,
it is advisable to recharge the battery.
Based on the type of charger available,
charge the battery using either of the fol-
lowing procedures:
• Constant voltage (14.4-15 V) - Charge
the battery for about 12 hours. Check
the voltage 10-12 hours after the end of
recharge as described above.
• Constant current: Charge battery at 0.5-
0.8 A until the voltage between the ter-
minals stabilizes at ~14.5 V.
WARNING
The battery is sealed. When recharging
it, do not remove the seal nor add any
liquid.
WARNING
When recharging, first connect the battery
to the battery charger and then turn on the
charger.
If the battery is charged in a closed room,
take care to ensure proper ventilation as
during the charge the battery produces
explosive gases.
