Important Notes
• Your new battery must be charged for at least
18 hours before you use it in your vehicle for the
first time.
• The battery must be removed from your vehicle for
the initial charge in order to complete assembly. You

to recharge it.
• We recommend that you start charging your battery
before beginning assembly of your new vehicle.
• The battery must be upright while charging.

• Before charging the battery, examine the battery case
for cracks and other damage which may cause sulfuric
acid (electrolyte) to leak during the charging process.
If damage is detected, do not charge the battery or use
it in your vehicle. Battery acid is very corrosive and can
cause severe damage to surfaces it contacts.

counter tops) which could be damaged by the acid con-
tained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect the
surface on which you charge your battery.
