Allowing batteries to stand for an extended period
of time without recharging them will result in
reduced performance and service life. To preserve
optimum battery performance and life, recharge
batteries in storage when the open circuit voltage
drops to 12.4 volts.
NOTE: To prevent damage due to freezing, battery
should be fully charged before putting away for
winter storage.
Check the voltage of the battery with a digital
voltmeter. Locate the voltage reading of the battery
in the table and charge the battery for the
recommended time interval to bring the charge up
to a full charge of 12.6 volts or greater.
IMPORTANT: M ake sure the negative battery
cable is disconnected and the battery charger
used for charging the battery has an output of
16 volts and 7 amps or less to avoid damaging
the battery (see chart for recommended charger
settings).
