If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking acid and
place the damaged battery in a plastic bag. See information below for
proper disposal.
If acid comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with cool water for at
least 15 minutes and call a physician.
If acid is internally ingested, give water, milk of magnesia or egg
whites immediately and call a physician. Never give emetics or induce
vomiting. Call a physician.
• Charge a new battery for at least 18 hours before you use it in
your vehicle for the first time. Never charge the battery longer than
30 hours. Overcharging or undercharging the battery may shorten

• After the first charge, recharge the battery after each use for at least:
- 18 hours for a 6 Volt (Standard) vehicle;
- 14 hours for a Super 6 or 12 Volt vehicle.
• You do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to
recharge it.
• The charger is not a toy.
• The battery must be upright while charging.
• Do not short circuit the battery's supply terminals.
• Do not allow the battery to run down completely before charging.
• Charge the battery before storing the vehicle.
• Charge the battery at least once per month, even if the vehicle has not
been used.
• Leaving the battery in a discharged condition will ruin it.
