CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
Charging method using a variable-current (voltage) charger
Charge
YES
Adjust the voltage to obtain the
standard charging amperage.
Set the timer to the charging
time determined by the open-
circuit voltage.
Refer to "CHECKING AND
CHARGING THE BATTERY"
If the required charging time exceeds 5 hours, it is advisable to check
the charging amperage after 5 hours. If there is any change in the
amperage, readjust the voltage to obtain the standard charging
amperage.
Leave the battery unused for more than 30 minutes before measuring
its open-circuit voltage.
12.8 V → Charging is complete.
12.0 ~ 12.7 V → Recharging is required.
Under 12.0 V → Replace the battery.
Ammeter
Measure the open-circuit
voltage prior to charging.
Connect a charger and
ammeter to the battery and
start charging.
Is the amperage higher than
the
amperage written on the
battery?
YES
standard charging
Adjust the charging voltage to
20 ~ 25 V
Monitor the amperage for 3 ~ 5
minutes. Is the standard
charging amperage exceeded?
If the amperage does not
exceed the standard charging
amperage after 5 minutes,
replace the battery.

NOTE:
Leave the battery unused
for more than 30 minutes
before measuring its open-
circuit voltage.
NOTE:
Set the charging voltage to
16 ~ 17 V. (If the charging
voltage is lower, charging
will be insufficient, if it is
higher, the battery will be
over-charged.
