fully charged. Since the battery is sealed and the sealing strip cannot be
removed, you must use a voltmeter or multimeter to measure DC voltage.
An overheated battery may explode, causing severe injury or death. Always
watch charging times carefully. Stop charging if the battery becomes very
warm to the touch. Allow it to cool before resuming charging.
For a refresh charge, follow all instructions carefully.
