Section08ELECTRICAL
Subsection 04 (BATTERY)
Charging a Very Flat or Completely
Discharged Battery
Skandic LT E
Unless this procedure is properly followed, a good
battery may be needlessly replaced.
Measure the voltage at the battery posts with
an accurate voltmeter. If it is below 10 volts,
the battery will accept current at very low rate,
in term of milliamperes, because electrolyte
is nearly pure water as explained above. It
could be some time before the charging rate
increases. Such low current flow may not be
detectable on some charger ammeters and the
battery will seem not to accept any charge.
Only for this particular case, set the charger to
ahighrate.
NOTE: Some chargers have a polarity protection
feature which prevents charging unless the charg-
er leads are connected to the correct battery ter-
minals. A completely discharged battery may not
have enough voltage to activate this circuitry, even
though the leads are connected properly. This will
make it appear that the battery will not accept
a charge. Follow the charger manufacturer's in-
struction telling how to bypass or override this cir-
cuitry so that the charger will turn on and charge
a low-voltage battery.
Since the battery chargers vary in the amount
of voltage and current they provide, the time
required for the battery to accept measurable
chargercurrentmightbeuptoapproximately
10 hours or more.
If the charging current is not up to a measurable
amount at the end of about 10 hours, the bat-
tery should be replaced.
If the charging current is measurable before the
end or at the end of about 10 hours, the battery
is good and charging should be completed in the
normal manner as specified in Activation of a
new battery.
It is recommended that any battery recharged
by this procedure be load tested prior to return-
ing it to service.
All Except Skandic LT E
WARNING
Always wear safety glasses and charge in
a ventilated area. Never charge or boost
battery while installed on vehicle. Do not
open the sealed caps during charging. Do
not place battery near open flame.
CAUTION: If battery becomes hot, stop charg-
ing and allow it to cool before continuing.
NOTE: Sealed VRLA batteries have an internal
safety valve. If battery pressure increases due to
overcharging, the valve opens to release excess
pressure, preventing battery damage.
Perform BATTERY CHARGE TESTING above then
proceed as described here.
An automatic charger is the fastest and most con-
venient way for error-proof charging.
NOTE: If battery cannot be recharged using the
following charging chart, replace battery.
When using a constant current charger, charge
battery according to the chart below.
