is indicated by the ammeter. Thus, each battery will arrive in a fully charged condition at a different time. Conditions that affect charging time are battery temperature, size, state of charge, type of battery, and
other factors.
Six and twelve volt batteries may be intermixed when series charging. The total voltage of the batteries should not exceed the rated voltage of the charger.
Example: A Charger is rated a nominal 60 cells. Ten 12 volt batteries in series or twenty 6 volt batteries in series can be charged or any combination of six and twelve volt batteries that total 60 cells.
To charge batteries in series, connect the charger's positive lead to the positive post of the first battery. Connect a jumper from the negative post of the first battery to the positive post of the next battery.
Continue until all batteries are connected. Attach negative lead of charger to remaining battery post.
Dark area represents state of charge of battery.
At start of charge
Remove battery when it becomes fully charged
Charger output voltage must be turned down after battery is removed
At finish of charge, turn main power switch "Off" to conserve energy
When a battery is fully charged, it must be removed from the charging circuit. If it is not, it may be damaged by over charging.
END OF CHARGE:
Discontinue charge when three successive hydrometer readings taken at half hour intervals fail to show an increase in specific gravity, or when
battery begins to gas excessively or when temperature of electrolyte reaches approximately 120
E
F. If a battery is sealed and these
determinations cannot be made, see manufacturer's instructions for charging.
