CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
WARNING
:
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas and
contain electrolyte which is made of poisonous
and highly caustic sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
• Wear protective eye gear when handling or
working near batteries;
• Charge batteries in a well-ventilate2d area;
• Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or open
flames (e.g., welding equipment, lighted
cigarettes);
• Do not smoke when charging or handling
batteries;
• keep batteries and electrolyte out of reach of
children;
• Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it can
cause severe burns or permanent eye injury;
first aid in case of bodily contact:
External
• Skin — Wash with water;
• Eyes — Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get immediate medical attention;
Internal
Drink large quantities of water or milk followed
with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable
oil. Get immediate medical attention.
WARNING
:
• This is a sealed battery. Never remove the
sealing caps because the balance between
cells will not be maintained and batter

different from those of conventional batteries.
The MF battery should be charged as explained
in the charging method illustrations. If the
battery is overcharged, the electrolyte level
will drop considerably;
• Therefore, take special care when charging
the battery.
NOTE
:
Since MF batteries are sealed, it is not possible
to check the charge state of the battery by
measuring the specific gravity of the electrolyte.
Therefore, the charge of the battery has to be
checked by measuring the voltage at the battery
terminals.
