CAUTION:

Set charging current to value specified in Fig. 2. If
charger is not capable of producing specified current
value, set its charging current as close to that value as
possible.

Keep battery away from open flame while it is being
charged.

When connecting charger, connect leads first, then turn
on charger. Do not turn on charger first, as this may
cause a spark.

If battery temperature rises above 60°C (140°F), stop
charging. Always charge battery when its temperature is
below 60°C (140°F).

Remove cell caps during charging.

CAUTION:

Do not use standard charge method on a battery whose specific gravity is less than 1.100.

Set charging current to value specified in Fig. 4. If charger is not capable of producing specified
current value, set its charging current as close to that value as possible.

Keep battery away from open flame while it is being charged.

When connecting charger, connect leads first, then turn on charger. Do not turn on charger first,
as this may cause a spark.

If battery temperature rises above 60°C (140°F), stop charging. Always charge battery when its
temperature is below 60°C (140°F).

Check battery type and determine the specified current using the table
shown above.

After starting charging, adjustment of charging current is not necessary.
CAUTION:

Do not use quick charge method on a battery whose specific gravity is less than 1.100.

Set initial charging current to value specified in Fig. 6. If charger is not capable of producing
specified current value, set its charging current as close to that value as possible.

Keep battery away from open flame while it is being charged.

When connecting charger, connect leads first, then turn on charger. Do not turn on charger first,
as this may cause a spark.

Be careful of a rise in battery temperature because a large current flow is required during quick-
charge operation.
If battery temperature rises above 60°C (140°F), stop charging. Always charge battery when its
temperature is below 60°C (140°F).

Do not exceed the charging time specified in Fig. 6, because charging battery over the charging
time can cause deterioration of the battery.
