Battery Charging

To ensure your battery maintains its level of charge, the battery should be connected to a battery trickle charger using the battery charge port 1.

  1. Check the battery voltage with a voltmeter or multimeter. A fully charged battery will register 12.8 V or higher.

  2. If the voltage is less than 12.8 volts, recharge the battery at 1.2 amps or less until the battery voltage is 12.8 or greater using the battery charge port 1.

RESTRICTION
When using an automatic charger, refer to the charger manufacturer's instructions for recharging. When using a constant current charger, use the following guidelines for recharging.
WARNING
An overheated battery may explode, causing severe injury or death. Always watch charging times carefully. Stop charging if the battery becomes very warm to the touch. Allow it to cool before resuming charging.
TIP
Always verify battery condition before and 1-2 hours after the end of charging.
