Charging Instructions - Century CC1212-XLi Owner's Manual

CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1 - Pre charge check & electrolyte level check
• Check the battery voltage, type and Ah capacity to ensure the charger is compatible and to
determine which Battery Type and Charge Rate settings you will use. Visit

necessary, add distilled water so the levels are halfway between the upper and lower fill lines.
On Sealed Maintenance Free (SMF) batteries, check the State of Charge indicator.

battery as the cables permit.
