WARNING
Do not quick charge a battery.
ECA
NOTICE
• Do not use a high-rate battery charger
since it forces a high-amperage current
into the battery quickly and can cause bat-
tery overheating and battery plate dam-
age.
• If it is impossible to regulate the charging
current on the battery charger, be careful
not to overcharge the battery.
• When charging a battery, be sure to re-
move it from the vehicle. (If charging has
to be done with the battery mounted on the
vehicle, disconnect the negative battery
lead from the battery terminal.)
• To reduce the chance of sparks, do not
plug in the battery charger until the battery
charger leads are connected to the bat-
tery.
• Before removing the battery charger lead
clips from the battery terminals, be sure to
turn off the battery charger.
• Make sure the battery charger lead clips
are in full contact with the battery terminal
and that they are not shorted. A corroded
battery charger lead clip may generate
heat in the contact area and a weak clip
spring may cause sparks.
• If the battery becomes hot to the touch at
any time during the charging process, dis-
connect the battery charger and let the
battery cool before reconnecting it. Hot
batteries can explode!
• As shown in the following illustration, the
open-circuit voltage of a VRLA (Valve Reg-
ulated Lead Acid) battery stabilizes about
30 minutes after charging has been com-
pleted. Therefore, wait 30 minutes after
charging is completed before measuring
the open-circuit voltage.

Charging method using a variable-cur-
rent (voltage) charger
a. Measure the open-circuit voltage prior to
charging.
TIP
Voltage should be measured 30 minutes after
the engine is stopped.
b. Connect a charger and ammeter to the bat-
tery and start charging.
TIP
Set the charging voltage to 16–17 V.If the set-
ting is lower, charging will be insufficient. If too
high, the battery will be over-charged.
c. Make sure that the current is higher than the
standard charging current written on the bat-
tery.
TIP
If the current is lower than the standard charg-
ing current written on the battery, set the charg-
ing voltage adjust dial at 20–24 V and monitor
the amperage for 3–5 minutes to check the bat-
tery.
A. Open-circuit voltage (V)
B. Charging condition of the battery (%)
C. Ambient temperature 20°C (68°F)
A. Open-circuit voltage (V)
B. Time (minutes)
C. Charging
D. Ambient temperature 20°C (68°F)
E. Check the open-circuit voltage.
• Standard charging current is reached
Battery is good.
• Standard charging current is not reached
Replace the battery.
