You can also use the battery charger to test the open-circuit voltage and start
potential of the battery, and to test the alternator. With this device, you cannot
overcharge the battery.
Info
If the charging current, charging voltage and charging time are
exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the safety valves. This reduces
the battery capacity.
If the battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, over-
discharge and sulfating occurs, destroying the battery.
The battery is maintenance-free. The acid level does not have to be
checked.
