• Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes).
• DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling 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 fol-
lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg
or vegetable oil. Get immediate medical
attention.

• This is a VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead
Acid) battery. Never remove the sealing
caps because the balance between cells
will not be maintained and battery perfor-
mance will deteriorate.
• Charging time, charging amperage and
charging voltage for a VRLA (Valve Regu-
lated Lead Acid) battery are different from
those of conventional batteries. The
VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) bat-
tery should be charged according to the
appropriate charging method. If the bat-
tery is overcharged, the electrolyte level
will drop considerably. Therefore, take
special care when charging the battery.
TIP
Since VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) bat-
teries 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.
1. Remove:
• Front left storage box
Refer to “GENERAL CHASSIS” on page
4-1.
2. Disconnect:
• Battery leads
(from the battery terminals)
ECA13640
First, disconnect the battery negative lead
“1”, and then battery positive lead “2”.
3. Remove:
• Battery
Refer to “GENERAL CHASSIS” on page
4-1.
4. Check:
• Battery charge

a. Connect a pocket tester to the battery ter-
minals.
TIP
• The charge state of a VRLA (Valve Regu-
lated Lead Acid) battery can be checked by
measuring its open-circuit voltage (i.e., the
voltage when the positive battery terminal is
disconnected).
• No charging is necessary when the open-cir-
cuit voltage equals or exceeds 12.8 V.
b. Check the charge of the battery, as shown
in the charts and the following example.
• Positive tester probe
→
positive battery terminal
• Negative tester probe
→
negative battery terminal
Example
Open-circuit voltage = 12.0 V
Charging time = 6.5 hours
Charge of the battery = 20–30%
