No charging is necessary when the open-cir-
cuit voltage equals or exceeds 12.8 V.

WARNING
EWA13300
Do not quick charge a battery.
NOTICE
ECA13671
• Do not use a high-rate battery charger
since it forces a high-amperage current
into the battery quickly and can cause bat-
tery overheating and battery plate damage.
• If it is impossible to regulate the charging
current on the battery charger, be careful
not to overcharge the battery.
• When charging a battery, be sure to remove
it from the vehicle. (If charging has to be
done with the battery mounted on the vehi-
cle, disconnect the negative battery lead
from the battery terminal.)
• To reduce the chance of sparks, do not
plug in the battery charger until the battery
charger leads are connected to the battery.
• Before removing the battery charger lead
clips from the battery terminals, be sure to
turn off the battery charger.
• Make sure the battery charger lead clips are
in full contact with the battery terminal and
that they are not shorted. A corroded bat-
tery charger lead clip may generate heat in
the contact area and a weak clip spring may
cause sparks.
• If the battery becomes hot to the touch at
any time during the charging process, dis-
connect the battery charger and let the bat-
tery cool before reconnecting it. Hot
batteries can explode!
• As shown in the following illustration, the
open-circuit voltage of a VRLA (Valve Reg-
ulated Lead Acid) battery stabilizes about
30 minutes after charging has been com-
pleted. Therefore, wait 30 minutes after
charging is completed before measuring
the open-circuit voltage.
