CHECKING THE BATTERY

Charging method using a constant voltage charger

CHK ADJ

Measure the open-circuit voltage prior to charging.

Connect a charger and ammeter to the battery and start charging.

NOTE:

Leave the battery unused for more than 30 minutes before measuring its open-circuit voltage.

battery?

 

 

Charge the battery until the charging voltage reaches 15 V.

NOTE:

Set the charging time to a maximum of 20 hours.

This type of battery charger cannot charge an MF battery. A variable voltage charger is recommended.
