Battery top must be clean and dry. Dirt and electrolyte on top of the battery can cause battery to self discharge.
1. Clean battery top.
2. Clean cable connectors and battery terminals using a wire brush or fine grit sandpaper to remove any oxidation.
3. Inspect and clean the battery screws, clamps and cables. Check for breakage, loose connections and corrosion.
4. Check the battery posts for melting or damage caused by over tightening.
5. Inspect the battery for discoloration, a raised top or a warped or distorted case. These conditions might indicate that the battery has been frozen,
overheated or overcharged.
6. Inspect the battery case for cracks or leaks.
Charging
An automatic, constant monitoring battery charger/tender with a charging rate of 5 amps or less at less than 14.6 volts is recommended. The use of constant
current chargers (including trickle chargers) to charge sealed AGM batteries is not recommended. Any overcharge will cause dry out and premature battery
failure. Never charge a battery without first reviewing the instructions for the charger being used. In addition to the manufacturer's instructions, follow these
general safety precautions.
Charge the battery if any of the following conditions exist:
Vehicle lamps appear dim.
Electric starter sounds weak.
Battery has not been used for an extended time.
Explosive hydrogen gas, which escapes during charging, could cause death or serious injury.
Charge battery in a well ventilated area. Keep open flames, electrical sparks and smoking
materials away from battery at all times. KEEP BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN. (00065a)
Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which could cause severe burns to eyes and skin. Wear a
protective face shield, rubberized gloves and protective clothing when working with batteries.
KEEP BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN. (00063a)
1. Perform a voltmeter test to determine the state of charge. If battery needs to be charged, proceed to the next step.
2. Place the battery on a level surface.
Unplug or turn OFF battery charger before connecting charger cables to battery. Connecting
cables with charger ON can cause a spark and battery explosion, which could result in death
