DANGER
Hydrogen gas produced by the battery may explode if exposed
to open flame or sparks.
Keep the area ventilated and free from naked flames.
The operating instructions for the battery are as follows:
- Check the battery voltage in open circuit status (disconnected).
- If the battery voltage is below 12.6 V, or if the storage period has
exceeded 6 months, the battery has to be recharged following the
instructions in paragraph 3.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
If the battery voltage is above 12.6 V, the battery can be installed
on the vehicle without having to recharge it.
Constant voltage charge mode
- Constant voltage = 14.4 - 14.7 V
- Initial charge current = 0.1 - 0.5 Cn
- Charge duration = 6 hours minimum / 24 hours maximum.
Constant power charge mode
- Maximum charge current = 0.1 Cn
- Recommended charge time = 5 - 8 hours.
- The product (charge current) x (charge duration) must be within
the range: 0.5 - 0.8 Cn.
DANGER
Inverting the polarity of the battery terminals may cause battery
charge problems and cause damage to the battery system.
The red terminal is positive ( + ) and the black terminal is
negative ( - ).
WARNING
Not using the standard manner of charging may seriously
shorten the battery life.
Never exceed the standard charge.
Note
In case that a different mode of charging is used to those
established here, never exceed the maximum allowed
currents nor the maximum charge duration of 24 hours.
