Battery (Except for EF7200)
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.
WARNING

it contains sulfuric acid, which causes severe
burns. Avoid any contact with skin, eyes or
clothing and always shield your eyes when
working near batteries. In case of contact,
administer the following FIRST AID.
