CHARGING THE BATTERY USING
A CHARGER
- disconnect the battery,
- follow the instructions for use given by
the battery charger manufacturer,
- reconnect starting with the negative (-) terminal,
- check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (white or greenish deposit),
disconnect them and clean them. The charging operation must be carried
out in a ventilated area away from naked
flames or any possible sources of sparks to
eliminate the risk of explosion and fire.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it
must first be thawed to eliminate the risks of
explosion. If the battery has frozen, before
charging it have it checked by a specialist
who will check that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the
container is not cracked, which could mean
that there is a risk of a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
