NOTE
Increase the charging voltage to a maximum voltage of 25 V if the battery will not accept current initially. Charge for nomore than 5minutes at the increased voltage then check if the battery is drawing current. If the battery will accept current decrease the voltage and charge by the standard charging method described on the battery case. If the battery will not accept current after 5 minutes, replace the battery.
