<p>In addition to this do it in the open air or in an extremely well
ventilated space. The "gassing" produces Hydrogen and oxygen, an
extremely explosive gas mixture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>A small spark from a switch or from disconnecting a lead can very
easily ignite this volatile mixture. BEWARE!!!<br>

used this info to recharge a very discharged AGM battery. AGM
style battery sat for 4 years in my old yellow 100 in a
California warehouse. I had sold the car many years ago to a
fellow in CA. I repurchased the car. When it arrived back in
Pennsylvania the battery was completely flat. Using the
conventional 10 amp charger would barely get the battery up
to 4 volts. Using the method described below it is now back up
to 12.5 volts. </p>

the batteries have been hooked up for about an hour, check
to see if the AGM battery is slightly warm or hot to the
touch. Batteries naturally become warm during charging, but
excessive heat may be an indication that there really is
something wrong with the battery. Discontinue charging
immediately if the battery is hot to the touch. Also
discontinue the process if you hear the battery "gassing" —
a hissing sound coming from the safety valves. If it's hot
or gassing, STOP CHARGING IMMEDIATELY!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222">With
your voltage meter, check back often to see if the AGM
battery has charged to 10.5 volts or above. This generally
takes less than two hours with a 10-amp charger. If it has,
disconnect the charger from the wall outlet and remove the
good battery from the charger. Now, connect only the deeply
discharged AGM battery to the charger. Turn on the charger
and continue until the AGM battery reaches a full charge, or
until the automatic charger completes the charge process. In
most cases, the AGM battery will be recovered.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
