Dry Battery Filling and Charging
Instructions
1 Remove the battery vent caps and
permanently remove the plastic seal from
the battery vent openings.
2 Fill each cell with battery acid (electrolyte)
until the level is sufficient to cover the
plates.
Do not fill to the maximum level until the battery
charge cycle is complete. Overfilling can cause
the battery acid to overflow during charging.
Neutralize battery acid spills with baking soda
and water.
3 Install the battery vent caps.
4 Charge the battery.
5 Check the battery acid level when the
charging cycle is complete. Replenish with
distilled water to the bottom of the fill tube.
Do not overfill.

charging.
2 Open the battery compartment. The
compartment should remain open for the
entire charging cycle.
