pack in place for a minimum of 30 + minutes. This will allow the electrolyte to be
absorbed completely.
3. Battery must be re-sealed with the supplied sealing cap/plugs. Allow the battery to
stand for an additional 30 minutes prior to checking terminal voltage.

4. Check the output voltage. If greater than 12.8V, proceed to step 6. If less than 12.8V,
Charge the battery as per the enclosed instruction sheet. OR alternatively, charge the
battery with a low output ‘Intelligent’ charger (i.e. Noco Genius) and remove when
fully charged is indicated.
5. After charging, allow battery to stand for one hour and check the battery voltage. If
below 12.8 volts, allow battery to cool and re-charge as per step 4.
6. If battery is warm or hot, allow to cool. Install the battery securely and ensure
the terminal lead attachment / polarity is correct. Failure to comply with these
instructions may reduce the expected battery life and void the warranty.
