precautions listed in this guide. Ventilate the area around the battery
thoroughly and ensure that there are no sources of flame or sparks
in the vicinity.

Turn off or disconnect all loads on the battery during
reconditioning. The voltage applied to the battery during

to check battery electrolyte before and after reconditioning. Fill
only with distilled water.

Important:

The battery reconditioning mode has a 4 hour

timing limit.
