Voltage should be measured 30 minutes after
the engine is stopped.
b. Connect a charged and ammeter to the bat-
tery and start charging.
Set the charging voltage at 16–17 V. If the set-
ting is lower, charging will be insufficient. If too
high, the battery will be over-charged.
c. Make sure that the current is higher than the
standard charging current written on the bat-
tery.
If the current is lower than the standard charg-
ing current written on the battery, set the charg-
ing voltage adjust dial at 20–24 V and monitor
the amperage for 3–5 minutes to check the bat-
tery.
Reach the standard charging current → Bat-
tery is good.
Does not reach the standard charging cur-
rent → Replace the sub-battery.
d. Adjust the voltage so that the current is at
the standard charging level.
e. Set the time according to the charging time
suitable for the open-circuit voltage.
f. If charging requires more than 5 hours, it is
advisable to check the charging current after
a lapse of 5 hours. If there is any change in
the amperage, readjust the voltage to obtain
the standard charging current.
g. Measure the battery open-circuit voltage af-
ter leaving the battery unused for more than
30 minutes.
12.4 V or more --- Charging is complete.
12.3 V or less --- Recharging is required.
Under 12.0 V --- Replace the battery.
Charging method using a constant voltage
charger
a. Measure the open-circuit voltage prior to
charging.
Voltage should be measured 30 minutes after
the engine is stopped.
b. Connect a charger and ammeter to the bat-
tery and start charging.
c. Make sure that the current is higher than the
standard charging current written on the bat-
tery.
If the current is lower than the standard charg-
ing current written on the battery, this type of
battery charger cannot charge the VRLA (Valve
Regulated Lead Acid) battery. A variable volt-
age charger is recommended.
d. Charge the battery until the battery's charg-
ing voltage is 15 V.
Set the charging time at 20 hours (maximum).
e. Measure the battery open-circuit voltage af-
ter leaving the battery unused for more than
30 minutes.
12.4 V or more --- Charging is complete.
12.3 V or less --- Recharging is required.
Under 12.0 V --- Replace the battery.
6. Install:
Sub-battery
Battery band
7. Connect:
Sub-battery leads
(to the sub-battery terminals)
First, connect the battery positive lead "1",
and then the battery negative lead "2".
8. Check:
Battery terminals
Dirt → Clean with a wire brush.
Loose connection → Connect properly.
9. Lubricate:
Battery terminal
Recommended lubricant
Dielectric grease
10.Install:
