Battery (For EF5500EFW)
This generator is designed to be equipped with a
VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) battery. There is no
need to check the electrolyte or to add distilled water.
To charge the battery
Have a Yamaha dealer charge the battery as soon as
possible if it seems to have discharged.
NOTICE
To charge a VRLA battery, a special (constant-volt-
age) battery charger is required. Using a conven-
tional battery charger will damage the battery. If
you do not have access to a constant-voltage bat-
tery charger, have a Yamaha dealer charge your
battery.
