!
Charge the battery with a 12 volt battery
charger limiting the maximum charging cur-
rent to 1.1 amperes.
!
A higher ampere charging rate can drastically
reduce battery life and efficiency due to dam-
age to the battery plates. Charging the battery
for a shorter time of period than the specified
will also drastically shorten the service life of
the battery and limit its potential power.
NOTE:
The standard specific gravity of the proper
electrolyte should be 1.28 at 20°C (68°F).
