The weight must be the same with digital on the nameplate.
3 Remove power sully socket, connect battery plug with battery socket. 4 Open battery plus liquid hole cover to make it ventilated. 5 Switch on AC current and start charging. Warning! When charging, make sure there is good ventilation. Keep an open fire and spark far away, otherwise it may lead to an explosion.
8 Equalizing charge method a. Normally charge first b. Stop 1 hours when full charge, then charge 1 hour with 0.05C means battery rated capacity) Repeat b with times until battery has fierce bubble when switch off 9 When not using a period of time, you must charge fully 10 The battery should avoid direct sunlight, keep at least 2M distance from heat source 11 Avoid contact with any liquids and hazardous substances, any metal impurities cannot fall into the battery.
