Battery Charging
The battery will expel explosive
hydrogen gas when overcharged.
A spark or flame can cause the
battery to explode with enough
force to kill or seriously hurt you.
Always use a regulated charger that
provides the correct charging
current to prevent overcharging.
Wear protective clothing and a face
shield, or have a skilled mechanic
perform the battery maintenance.
The battery is rated at 11.2 Ah (ampere-hours). Charging current
should equal 10% of the battery’s ampere-hour rating. A battery
charger should be used that can be adjusted to deliver 1.1 amps.
Connect the battery charger following the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Charge the battery 5 10 hours.
Clean the outside of the battery and the battery tray compartment
with a solution of baking soda and water.
