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 tender port 1.
IMPORTANT
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.
