CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS FOR NEWLY ACTIVATED

SEALED VRLA BATTERIES

Charging a Newly Activated Sealed VRLA Battery

SECTION

Sealed VRLA

Batteries

Sealed VRLA batteries require an initial charge. If you are

using a constant current charger, refer to the standard

(STD.) charging method printed on the battery. If you are

using an automatic type taper charger, check to make sure

that the charger current (amps) is equal to or greater than

the standard (STD.) charging method listed on the battery.

Yuasa Automatic Chargers and Accessories are the safest and most convenient

method for error proof charging and battery maintenance.

These batteries are a sealed VRLA construction – which means:

NEVER REMOVE THE SEALING STRIP AFTER CHARGING IS COMPLETED!

If the battery gets very hot to the touch, cease charging and allow battery to cool down.

Check voltage using a voltmeter. Readings for a charged, newly-activated battery should

be 12.8v or higher after the battery is charged and sits for at least 1 - 2 hours.

If less, it needs an additional charge.
