Connecting a home charger
1. Connect the positive wire of the charger to the positive terminal of the battery, and the negative wire to the negative terminal of the battery.
2. The battery can remain installed in the vehicle while charging.
3. If the home charger is weak, then the battery wires do not need to be disconnected.
4. The battery caps can remain screwed in. Gas generated during battery charging can be released through the ventilation holes in the caps.
5. The charging current should initially be approximately 10% of the battery capacity (e.g. 7 A for a 70 Ah battery) and automatically decrease as the battery charges.
6. The battery is considered fully charged if the density of the acid in it does not increase within two hours.
7. During battery charging, distilled water partially decomposes. Bubbles of hydrogen and oxygen gas are formed - detonating gas, which has a high explosive capacity.
8. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure good ventilation of the room, especially if the battery is charged with a powerful current.
9. When charging the battery, do not smoke near it or use open fire.
10. Oxygen gas can also be ignited by sparks that occur when connecting and disconnecting the charger or wires.
