is disabled
in Alternator
Check mode.
F07 may display
because

is discharged
(50%).
How long
should it be charged
at the 10 amp rate? See the chart above under "NO%" and "at
10 amp rate."
In ttlOSt cases, battery
charging
tittles will vary depending
on the size, age and
condition
of tile battery. Smaller batteries should be charged
at a lower rate (4 amps)
and an extra hour added to chalge
time,
