horn, current values of ≥ 5A may be found, with
voltage readings of 14 - 14.5V (regulator threshold
voltage).
If the readings do not match the above figures,
replace the regulator; otherwise check wiring
and connections.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFRESHING THE
STOCK CHARGE OF AN OPEN CIRCUIT
1) Voltage check
Before installing the battery on the vehicle, check
the open circuit voltage with a normal tester.
- If the voltage exceeds 12.60 V, the battery may
be installed without any renewal recharge.
- If voltage is below 12.60 V, a renewal recharge
is required as explained in 2).
2) Constant voltage battery charge mode
-Constant voltage equal to 14.40÷14.70V
-Initial charge voltage equal to 0.3÷0.5 for nominal
capacity
-Duration of the charge: 10 to 12 h recommended
Minimum 6 h
Maximum 24 h
3) Constant current battery charge mode
-Charge current equal to 1/10 of the nominal ca-
pacity of the battery
-Duration of the charge: 5 h
WARNING
-WHEN THE BATTERY IS REALLY FLAT (WELL BELOW
12.6V) IT MIGHT BE THAT 5 HOURS OF RECHARGING ARE
NOT ENOUGH TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE.
IN THESE CONDITIONS IT IS HOWEVER ESSENTIAL NOT
TO EXCEED EIGHT HOURS OF CONTINUOUS RECHARG-
ING SO AS NOT TO DAMAGE THE BATTERY ITSELF.
