CALCIUM BATTERY CHARGING OR EQUALIZATION CHARGE
Calcium batteries are becoming more commonly sold as they have a longer shelf life (4 times longer than
a lead antimony battery), they also have a better ability to withstand higher engine bay temperatures, and
have increased cranking output. They also require a different charging technique when left flat or when
deeply discharged.
STEP 1 to 3
Follow STEPS 1 to 3 of the Charging instructions of this booklet. Ensure that the battery is removed from
the vehicle to prevent the batteries electrolyte from spilling over and damaging the car or engine bay.
STEP 4 – SET BATTERY VOLTAGE
Set switch to either 6V or 12V depending on what battery voltage you are charging. For 24V vehicles the
batteries should be disconnected and the two 12Volt batteries need to be charged separately.
