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.
