1. Remove the battery from packaging and place on a flat stable surface

2. Using a voltmeter, check the open circuit voltage of the battery.
- If the battery voltage is between 12.60v and 13.15v it may be installed on the vehicle without any refresher charge.
- If the battery voltage is lower than 12.60v the battery must be recommissioned on a charger suitable for sealed lead-acid
  batteries, as described in point 3.
- If the battery is being stored it is recommended to fully charge first, checks should be made at least every 4 months to ensure battery is kept above 12.60v.
Never attempt to open the battery casing or add water or electrolyte to the battery

3. Constant voltage charging mode
- Constant voltage range = 14.40-14.70 V - Initial charging current = 0.1-0.5 Cn
- Charging time = min.6/max.24 hrs

Constant current or power charging mode
- Max.charging current = 0.1Cn
- Recommended charging time = 5-8 hrs.
- The result [(charging current) x (charging time)] must be within the range 0,5-0,8 Cn.

If other charging procedures are used different from those recommended above, the detailed maximum currents and 24 hours charging duration must not be exceeded.
