Battery Activation
To ensure maximum service life and performance from a new
battery, perform the following steps. NOTE: Do not service the
battery unless it will be put into regular service within 30 days.
After initial service, add only distilled water to the battery.
Never add electrolyte after a battery has been in service.
NOTE: New Battery: Battery must be fully charged
before use or battery life will be significantly
reduced 10-30% of the battery’s full potential.
To activate a new battery:
1.
Remove vent plug from vent fitting. Remove cell caps.
2.
Fill battery with electrolyte to upper level marks on case.
3.
Set battery aside to allow for acid absorption and
stabilization for 30 minutes.
4.
Add electrolyte to bring level back to upper level mark on
case.
NOTE: This is the last time that electrolyte should
be added. If the level becomes low after this point,
add only distilled water.
5.
Charge battery at 1/10 of its amp/hour rating. Examples: 1/
10 of 9 amp battery = .9 amp; 1/10 of 14 amp battery = 1.4
amp; 1/10 of 18 amp battery = 1.8 amp (recommended
charging rates).
6.
Check specific gravity of each cell with a hydrometer to
assure each has a reading of 1.270 or higher.
Battery Inspection
The battery is located under the hood.
Inspect the battery fluid level. When the battery fluid nears the
lower level, remove the battery and fill with distilled water only
to the upper level line. To remove the battery:
