WARNING
• Keep the battery in an upright position to prevent electrolyte leakage. Tipping the battery beyond a
45° angle in any direction can allow a small amount of electrolyte to leak out of the vent hole. Do not
exceed this 45° angle when lifting, carrying or installing battery. The battery acid could cause severe
personal injury when accidentally coming in contact with the skin or eyes and could damage clothing.

3.
The battery may be charged with a slow charge (3-10 amps) or a fast charge (20-30 amps). Charge until the
specific gravity reaches 1.250.
See following WARNING.
WARNING
• If the battery case feels hot (approximately 125 °F (52 °C) or more), emits gases, or fluid boils from
vents, stop charging immediately. Failure to stop charging battery when any of these conditions are
present could result in an explosion, personal injury and/or damage to the battery.
