BATTERY — Battery Test and Charging Chart (Cont'd) — C: QUICK CHARGE + S.D.S.
EL-16spec tableUnverifiedQuick-charge time depends only on the SG band, not on battery type. The 'Europe' column is left blank in the source — Europe spec uses one of the two listed types but the table shows it that way.

NOTE
Check battery type and determine the specified current using the table shown above. After starting charging, adjustment of charging current is not necessary.
WARNING
CAUTION:
a. Do not use quick charge method on a battery whose specific gravity is less than 1.100.
b. Set initial charging current to value specified in Fig. 6. If charger is not capable of producing specified current value, set its charging current as close to that value as possible.
c. Keep battery away from open flame while it is being charged.
d. When connecting charger, connect leads first, then turn on charger. Do not turn on charger first, as this may cause a spark.
e. Be careful of a rise in battery temperature because a large current flow is required during quick-charge operation. If battery temperature rises above 60 °C (140 °F), stop charging. Always charge battery when its temperature is below 60 °C (140 °F).
f. Do not exceed the charging time specified in Fig. 6, because charging battery over the charging time can cause deterioration of the battery.
