Battery Charging 

In general, vehicle battery charging system has three forms.

  1. Constant current charge: The battery voltage gradually rises by charging with setting a constant current. If charging current and time are not managed correctly, the battery is over-charged, therefore charging should be stopped after confirming the completion of charging.
    • General charge: Charging the battery for a long time with low current
    • Quick charge: Charging the battery for a short time with high current
  2. Constant voltage charge: The battery charge current is gradually reduced by charging with setting a constant voltage.
  3. Constant current-Constant voltage charge: Charging with constant current and voltage to protect the battery damage.
    1. Initial Stage: Charging with constant current
    2. Last Stage: Charging with constant voltage
    CAUTION: Refer to the instruction service information provided by the Battery Charger equipment manufacturers for detailed charging procedures and precautions.

AGM Battery should be charged with constant voltage or constant current-constant voltage in order to minimize performance degradation due to the charging.

If Charging the Battery with constant current, overcharging may occur. It can cause damage to the internal battery and will give an adverse effect on battery life.

NOTE: Do Not Charge with more than 14.8V or quick charge mode.

Charging Voltage/Time:  14.7V [68°F ~ 86°F (20°C ~ 30°C)]/approximately 24 hours

The Minimum Charge Voltage:  14.4V [68°F ~ 86°F (20°C ~ 30°C)]

The Maximum Charging Voltage:  14.8V [68°F ~ 86°F (20°C ~ 30°C)]

NOTE: Battery temperature should be maintained at about 68°F ~ 86°F (20°C ~ 30°C) during charging of the battery.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
