Charging the battery

PERFORMANCE ORDER

In winter, when the battery is running under high loads when starting from cold and constant work of most of the electrical equipment, from time to time is recommended to fully charge the battery from an external source current 3.5-4 A.
Charging current is conducted so as long as four hours there will be no increase density.
It is also possible without any risk to put the battery overnight to trickle charging with 1.5 A charger.
It is not recommended to resort to "forced" charging that allegedly restores battery power for 1-2 hours, as it can seriously damage the battery plates due to their overheating.
When charging the battery, make sure that the temperature of the electrolyte does not exceed 40 ?� C.
