|
The

voltage high enough to appear to be fully charged.
|
If
the battery is in a vehicle, turn the headlights on for a few minutes
to reduce the battery voltage and try charging again.
|
|

A
sulfated battery will eventually accept a charge. Continue charging for
a few hours. If the charger cannot complete charging the battery, it
will go into Abort Mode.

together.
|
