Battery Charging

Caution: Boost charging (with a high current or voltage above 16 V) will damage the battery and is prohibited.




When testing components it is important that battery voltage is normal (approx.. 12 V). If necessary, a battery charger can be connected during testing.

Connect battery charger to the battery terminals. Charge battery for approx.. 10 hours at the recommended current - maximum 6 A.

Example: If the battery is marked 520 A a charge current of 0.01 x 520=5.2 A is recommended.

A higher than recommended charge current can damage the battery.
