▪
If the battery must be removed from the vehicle before charging, always discon-
nect the earthed connector from the battery first. Also ensure all other loads in
the vehicle are off.
▪
Ensure adequate ventilation to allow any toxic vapours or gasses to disperse.
▪
Ensure the battery poles are clean. If the battery has a removable vent cap, fill
each battery cell with distilled water to the manufacturer recommended level. Do
not overfill the cells.
▪
If the battery does not have caps, refer to the manufacturer instructions on char-
ging and the charging speed.
