TIP
Set the charging voltage to 16–17 V. If the set-
ting is lower, charging will be insufficient. If too
high, the battery will be over-charged.
c. Make sure that the current is higher than the
standard charging current written on the bat-
tery.
TIP
If the current is lower than the standard charging
current written on the battery, set the charging
voltage adjust dial at 20–24 V and monitor the
amperage for 3–5 minutes to check the battery.
Standard charging current is reached
G
Battery is good.
Standard charging current is not reached
G
Replace the battery.
d. Adjust the voltage so that the current is at the
standard charging level.
e. Set the time according to the charging time
suitable for the open-circuit voltage.
f. If charging requires more than 5 hours, it is
advisable to check the charging current after
a lapse of 5 hours. If there is any change in
the amperage, readjust the voltage to obtain
the standard charging current.
g. Measure the battery open-circuit voltage af-
ter leaving the battery unused for more than
30 minutes.
12.8 V or more --- Charging is complete.
12.7 V or less --- Recharging is required.
Under 12.0 V --- Replace the battery.

Charging method using a constant voltage
charger
a. Measure the open-circuit voltage prior to
charging.
TIP
Voltage should be measured 30 minutes after
the engine is turned off.
b. Connect a charger and ammeter to the bat-
tery and start charging.
c. Make sure that the current is higher than the
standard charging current written on the bat-
tery.
TIP
If the current is lower than the standard charging
current written on the battery, this type of battery

charger cannot charge the VRLA battery. A vari-
able voltage charger is recommended.
d. Charge the battery until the battery's charg-
ing voltage is 15 V.
TIP
Set the charging time at 20 hours (maximum).
e. Measure the battery open-circuit voltage af-
ter leaving the battery unused for more than
30 minutes.
12.8 V or more --- Charging is complete.
12.7 V or less --- Recharging is required.
Under 12.0 V --- Replace the battery.
