You can also use the battery charger to test the
open-circuit voltage and start potential of the battery,
and to test the alternator. With this device, you cannot
overcharge the battery.
Info
If the charging current, charging voltage and charg-
ing time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through
the safety valves. This reduces the battery capacity.
If the battery is left in a discharged state for an
extended period, over-discharge and sulfating
occurs, destroying the battery.
The battery is maintenance-free. The acid level
does not have to be checked.
