APPENDIX A - CHARGING TIMES To calculate the approximate charging time required to fully charge a battery, it is necessary to determine the specific gravity (or, percent of battery charge) using a hydrometer. Use this technique, if battery vent caps can be removed. Check each cell. If there is one cell with a very low specific gravity compared to the other cells, there is probably a shorted cell in the battery. Replace the battery. The following chart converts hydrometer readings into percent

higher, so it needs to rest after charging to measure actual state of charge. Below the Ammmeter is an incorrect polarity indicator that lights when incorrect polarity is sensed. It is marked REVERSE. See figure 6a. It indicates that the charger to battery connection is reversed and it must be reconected before charging can begin. This feature only operates when at least 4 volts or higher voltage remains in the battery to be charged. This feature is active for both 6 and 12 volt batteries. The c
