READ AND FOLLOW ALL PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS IN YOUR INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE
SULFATED BATTERIES. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
To recharge a sulfated battery:
1. Attach the battery clamps as described in the instruction manual.
2. Always use the charger's lowest rate when turning the charger on. Set the charger to the charger's highest rate for the voltage of the battery
being charged.
CAUTION:
NEVER CHARGE A BATTERY AT VOLTAGE RATES ABOVE THAT OF THE BATTERY.
3. The battery will show little or no amperage at the start of the charging process. This will continue until the sulfation begins to break down.
CAUTION:
AS THE SULFATION BREAKS DOWN, THE AMPERAGE MAY RAPIDLY RISE. CONSTANT ATTENTION MUST BE
OBSERVED TO PREVENT SERIOUS OVERHEATING OF THE BATTERY.
4. Lower the charge rate to the lowest rate for the voltage of battery being charged.
5. Charge the battery at this low rate until the electrolyte reaches the fully charged state as described in the tables in your instruction manual.
This may take as long as two or three days.
NOTICE: SOME BATTERIES MAY BE SO BADLY SULFATED THEY CAN NOT BE RESTORED TO A NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION,
REGARDLESS OF THE RATE OF CHARGE OR THE LENGTH OF TIME THE CHARGE IS APPLIED. IF THE BATTERY CANNOT BE
RESTORED TO A FULLY CHARGED CONDITION BY A SLOW CHARGING, IT SHOULD BE REPLACED.
