fully charged (1.265 specific gravity). This
is especially important to prevent battery
damage when the temperature is below 32°F
(0°C).

amps or 30 minutes at 4-6 amps.
2. When the battery is fully charged, unplug
the charger from the electrical outlet, then
disconnect the charger leads from the battery
posts (Figure 37).
