ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 16-29
Battery
 Terminal Voltage: 11.5 ∼ less than 12.8 V
   Standard Charge: 1.2 A × 5 ∼ 10 h (see following chart)
    Quick Charge:       5A×1h

                            NOTICE
 If possible, do not quick charge. If quick charge is
 done unavoidably, do standard charge later on.

 Terminal Voltage: less than 11.5 V
   Charging Method: 1.2 A × 20 h

                             NOTE
 ○Increase the charging voltage to a maximum voltage of
   25 V if the battery will not accept current initially. Charge
   for no more than 5 minutes at the increased voltage then
   check if the battery is drawing current. If the battery
   will accept current decrease the voltage and charge by
   the standard charging method described on the battery
   case. If the battery will not accept current after 5 min-
   utes, replace the battery.

•○Determine the battery condition after refresh charge.
  Determine the condition of the battery left for 30 minutes
 after completion of the charge by measuring the terminal
 voltage according to the table below.
          Criteria                     Judgement
     12.8 V or higher                      Good
 12.0 ∼ lower than 12.8 V    Charge insufficient → Recharge
    lower than 12.0 V           Unserviceable → Replace
