not overfill.
For a battery without cell seals, carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions when
charging.
- Carefully study all the battery manufacturer's special precautions, such as
removing or not removing cell caps when charging and observe the recommended
charging current.
- Determine the battery voltage from the vehicle operating instructions and make
sure that it matches the battery charger specifications.
- Place the charger as far away from the battery as the DC charging cables allow.

Please ensure that the black cable is not connected near the battery, carburettor,
fuel lines or other sheet metal parts.
- Charging a battery earthed to the positive terminal: Connect the black cable to the
negative terminal of the battery and the red cable to the chassis of the vehicle.
Please ensure that the red cable is not connected near the battery, carburettor, fuel
lines or other sheet metal parts.
