ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 16-25
CAUTION
Once you installed the seal caps after filling the battery,

Initial Charge
While the sealed battery can be used after only filling with
electrolyte, the battery may not be able to sufficiently move
a starter motor to start an engine in the cases shown in the
table below, where an initial charge is required before use.
However, if a battery shows the terminal voltage of 12.6 V
or more, using a digital voltmeter, after 10 minutes of filling,
no initial charge is necessary.
NOTE
○To measure battery terminal voltage, use a digital voltmeter
which can be read one decimal place voltage.
