– If the charging current is measurable before the
end or at the end of about 10 hours, the battery
is good and charging should be completed in
the normal manner as specified in
Activation
of a new battery .
– It is recommended that any battery recharged
by this procedure be load tested prior to return-
ing it to service.
BATTERY CHARGING
EQUIPMENT
The battery charger should have an adjustable
charging rate. Variable adjustment is preferred,
but a unit which can be adjusted in small incre-
ments is acceptable.
The battery charger must be equipped with an
ammeter capable of accurately measuring current
of less than one ampere.
If the present charger is not adjustable to the
proper current values, a rheostat can be connect-
ed in series with the battery to provide adjust-
ment. 12 Ohm, 50 watt rheostats, such as
OHMITE – 0314 or MALLORY 50K 12P, are avail-
able from electronic parts supply shops and they
are suitable for use with most chargers if the peak
current is to be held below 2 amps.
If you need an accurate ammeter, we recommend
the use of : SHURITE – 5202 (0 to 3 amps) or –
5203 (0 to 5 amps) available from electronic parts
supply shops.

4. Battery
For a service application and a permanent installa-
tion, both ammeter and rheostat can be built into
a small box adjacent to your charger.
CAUTION : Adequate ventilation MUST
be provided to cool the rheostat.
Charging 2 or More Batteries at a Time
Connect all positives together and use a charger
with a capacities (rated) equal to : number of bat-
tery to be charged multiply by 2 A.
For example : charging five batteries at a time re-
quires a 10 A rated charger (5 x 2 A = 10 A).
TYPICAL
1. 2 batteries = 4 A
INSTALLATION OF BATTERY
S Series and F Series with Electric Starting
Ensure vent tube is properly installed on battery
elbow, then install protective boot over battery.
Bent rear strip by 15° to facilitate installation. That
strip can also be taped on its hook portion so it
stays in place.
Close and fasten retaining strips.
