13.65 to 15.0 volts, no amperage limit.
Battery
charger:
13.8 to 15.0 volts, 10 amps maximum, 6-12 hours
approximate.
Cyclic Applications:

Maximum voltage 15.6 volts (regulated).
Maximum current: No limit as long as temperature <50¡ãC (125¡ãF).
Maximum recharge time: Charge until current drops below 1 amp.
Float charge:
13.2 to 13.8 volts, 1 amp maximum current, time
indefinite (at lower voltage).
All limits must be
strictly adhered to.
Safety Information:
Always wear safety
glasses when working with
batteries.
Always use a voltage
regulated battery
charger with limits set to the above ratings. Overcharging can cause
the safety valves to open and battery gasses to escape, resulting in
premature failure. These gasses are flammable! You cannot replace water
in sealed batteries that have been overcharged. Any battery that
becomes very hot or makes a hissing sound while recharging should be
disconnected immediately.
Failure to fully
charge a battery can result
in poor performance and a reduction in capacity
