CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
3-51
Charging method using a constant-voltage type charger
Measure the open-circuit
voltage prior to charging.
Connect a charger and AMP
meter to the battery and start
charging.
Make sure the current is
higher than the standard
charging current written on
the battery.
Charge the battery until the battery’s
charging voltage is 15 V.This type of battery charger cannot
charge the MF battery. A variable volt-
NOTE:Voltage should be measured 30 min-utes after the machine is stopped.
Measure the battery open-circuit volt-
age after having left the battery unused
for more than 30 minutes.
12.8 V or more --- Charging is com-
plete.
12.7 V or less --- Recharging is re-
quired.
Under 12.0 V --- Replace the battery.
NOTE:Set the charging time at 20 hours (max-imum).
