ACDelco AGM PowerSports Batteries
Charging Instructions (New Batteries):
New Battery Testing:
When checking the condition of a new battery prior to installation, ACDelco
recommends only measuring open circuit voltage (OCV). ACDelco recommends a
minimum installation OCV of 12.4volts.
1. Batteries that fall below 12.4 volts should be recharged, prior to installation.
2. The battery should be tested with a known, good Digital Volt Ohm Meter
(DVOM).
3. When testing side terminal or top stud batteries, always use Lead (Pb)
terminal adapters. Make sure the terminal adapter makes good contact with
the Lead pad of the battery or inaccurate readings will result. Basic hand
tools may be needed to ensure the terminal is tight.
4. Never use steal bolts/nuts/washers, etc., when testing a side terminal
battery.
5. Never clamp the tester's leads directly to the threads when testing a top stud
battery with a conductance tester.
Charging Instructions:
1. Battery Preparation
a. Let the battery stand on level surface. Remove the sealing sheet.
2. Preparing the Electrolyte
a. Take the electrolyte container out of the inner box.
NOTE: Do not peel or pierce the sealed areas.
3. Procedure for filling battery with acid
a. Place electrolyte container upside down with the six sealed areas in line
with the six filler ports of the battery. Push the container down strongly
enough to break the seals. Now the electrolyte should start to flow out.
