WARNING
• Keep the battery in an upright position to prevent electrolyte leakage. Tipping the battery
beyond a 45° angle in any direction can allow a small amount of electrolyte to leak out of the
vent hole. Do not exceed this 45° angle when lifting, carrying or installing battery. The battery
acid could cause severe personal injury when accidentally coming in contact with the skin or
eyes, and could damage clothing.
Charging the Battery
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1 and DANGER on page 12-28.
1. Charge the battery using an automotive type 12-volt battery charger. Follow all warnings and procedures
supplied by the battery charger manufacturer.
2. Attach the charger, positive (+) cable to the positive (+), and negative (–) cable to the negative (–) battery
post.
3. The battery may be charged with a slow charge (3-10 amps) or a fast charge (20-30 amps). Charge until
the specific gravity reaches 1.250. See following WARNING.

WARNING
• If the battery case feels hot (approximately 125 °F (52 °C) or more), emits gases, or fluid boils
from vents, stop charging immediately. Failure to stop charging battery when any of these
conditions are present could result in an explosion, personal injury and/or damage to the
battery.
• Do not disconnect the DC leads and battery when the charger is on. The resulting arcing
between the DC leads and battery post could cause an explosion.
• If the charger must be stopped, disconnect the AC supply cord from the wall outlet before
disconnecting the DC leads from the battery. Allow the battery to cool to room temperature
and resume charging battery at a lower amp rate.
