Battery Charging (Sealed Battery)
On a sealed battery, the sealing strip cannot be removed. Use a voltmeter or multimeter to
measure DC voltage. A fully charged battery will register 12.8 V or higher. If the voltage is
less than 12.8 volts, recharge the battery.
WARNING! An overheated battery could explode, causing severe injury or death. Always watch
charging times carefully. Stop charging if the battery becomes very warm to the touch. Allow it to cool
before resuming charging.
The battery may be recharged without
removing it from the vehicle. Attach cables
in the following order:
1. Attach the positive (+) cable clamp to
the solenoid lead (directly wired to the
battery).
2. Attach the negative (-) cable clamp to
the negative (-) battery terminal.
