To ensure maximum cycle life of your battery it is vital to keep the following basic rules:
- The battery needs to be fully recharged as soon as possible after use (even it is not fully discharged)
Never leave a battery discharged.
- Do not stop charging till your battery is fully charged.
- Do not allow your battery to be discharged below 10,5V.
- Delivered batteries are ready to work.
There is no need of battery formatting or initial charging.
- Full capacity is achieved after approx. 20 cycles. Initial capacity will be approx. 15-20% lower.
- Please remember your battery does not like hot temperatures and huge temperature changes.
- Apply automatic chargers meant for GEL batteries.
- Maximal charging current should not exceed 20% of the battery capacity,
i.e. per 100Ah battery – maximal charging current is 20A.
. If you plan not to use your battery for a longer period, please disconnect it from any cables or devices, charge the battery and leave it in a cool place.
- The battery should not be stored in ambient temperature below 0°C. It can be stored without charging for 6 months.
