3. Charge battery at 1/10 of its am
p/hour rating.
Example:1/10 of 9 amp battery =.9 amps, 1/10 of 14
amp battery = 1.4 amps, 1/10 of 18 amp battery = 1.8
amps (recommended charging rates).
4. Check specific gravity of each cell with a hydrometer
to
ensure each has a reading of 1.270 or higher.
5. Install vent cover.
