Charge Time (h) [B]
CAUTION
If possible, do not quick charge. If the quick charge
is done due to unavoidable circumstances, do stan-
dard charge later on.
Terminal Voltage : less than 11.5 V
Charging Method : 0.9 A × 2 0 h
NOTE
Increase the charging voltage to a maximum voltage of
25 V if the battery will not accept current initially. Charge
for no more than 5 minutes at the increased voltage then
check if the battery is drawing current. If the battery
will accept current decrease the voltage and charge by
the standard charging method described on the battery
case. If t he battery will not accept current after 5 min-
utes, replace the battery.
