Charging the battery

Battery with a green dot indicates that charging is not needed until the battery is discharged, for example, when starting a cold engine.

When charging the battery with sealed terminals outside the vehicle, install the adapter. Make sure all the charger connections are clean and secure. For best results, the battery should be charged when the electrolyte and the plates are at room temperature. Extremely cold battery can not be charged for several hours after the start of charging.

Charge the battery until the green dot. During charging, the battery should be checked every 30 minutes. Tilting or shaking may be necessary for the emergence of a green point.

After charging the battery should be tested.

The time required to recharge the battery depends on the following factors:

- The size of the battery - for a fully discharged battery high capacity, designed for heavy duty, it takes time 2 times longer than charging the battery of the car;

- Temperature - charging the battery at -18 ?� C will require more time than at 27 ?� C. if the charger is connected to a cold battery, first charge level is very low, but the growth temperature of the battery charge level rise;

- The ability of the charger - the charger to the charging current of 5 A will take longer to charge than the charger to the charging current of 30 A or more;

- The state of charge - to charge a completely discharged battery must be twice the size of the charge, than to charge the two half-discharged batteries, because the battery is fully discharged in the electrolyte composition is close to almost pure water is a poor conductor. Then, as the charging current increases the acid content in the electrolyte increases accordingly charge state.

Before charging, disconnect the battery positive cable, then the earth cable.

Before charging, check the electrolyte level, if necessary add distilled water.

Frozen battery (the battery electrolyte is frozen) defrost before charging. A fully charged battery is frozen at -65 ?� C, a half-charged battery - at -30 ?� C, flat battery - at -12 ?� C.

Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area. When charging the battery installed, leave open the car's hood.

In normal charging, the charging current value is about 10% of the battery capacity. (ie battery capacity of 50 A should charge current of approximately 5.0 A). The charging time of approximately 10 hours.

Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the positive wire terminals of the battery - with negative lead of the charger.

During charging the electrolyte temperature must not exceed +55 ?� C, if necessary, discontinue charging or reduce the charging current value.
