NOTE:
Since the MF battery is a sealed type battery, it is
not possible to measure the specific gravity of the
electrolyte in order to check the charge state of the
battery. Therefore the charge of the battery has to
be checked by measuring the voltage at the bat-
tery terminals.
CAUTION:
S This is a sealed type battery. Never remove
the sealing caps. If the sealing caps have
been removed, the balance will not be main-
tained and battery performance will deterio-
rate.
S Charging time, charging current and charg-
ing voltage for the MF battery are different
from those of general type batteries. The MF
battery should be charged as explained in
"CHARGING METHOD". If the battery is over-
charged, the electrolyte level will drop con-
siderably. Therefore, take special care when
charging the battery.
WARNING
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas.
Always follow the following preventive mea-
sures:
S Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
S Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or open
flames (e.g., welding equipment, lighted cig-
arettes, etc.)
S DO NOT SMOKE when charging or handling
batteries.
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE OUT
OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
