CAUTION

• Store the battery in a stable, upright position.

• Protect from moisture.

• Store at reasonable room temperatures.

• Do not store the battery in direct sunlight or high temperatures (140°F (60°C) or in a

highly humid atmosphere, because rusting, deterioration of performance and life of the 

battery may occur.

TROUBLESHOOTING

NO OUTPUT VOLTAGE

• Verify you are using the correct power cable for the application. A pin configuration 

diagram is located on page 8 of this manual.

• There could be a short in the power cable. Unplug the cable from the battery and 

inspect to see if there is any visible damage to the wire. Replace or repair defective 

cables immediately.

• If all else appears normal then the battery, cable or power supply could be defective.

REPLACEMENT PROGRAM

No battery last forever, but Eco-Charge has implemented a battery replacement program 

that’s as kind to the environment as it is to your wallet. EC-90 batteries can be returned at 

the end of service life and rebuilt at an affordable price. The top assembly is reused to build 

a new battery while the spent battery is recycled with the SAV-LEAD program.

TRAVEL

Since many people travel with Eco-Charge batteries, we have added safe shipping 

information on the main battery label. Although this will not guarantee a hassle free airport 

security check, it should be noted that this information is provided by the Department of 

Transportation and is sufficient for safe shipping of all sealed lead acid batteries. The 

material data safety statement is located on the right side of the silver battery label, below 

the caution box. It reads:

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA

ECO-CHARGE SEALED BATTERIES ARE UNREGULATED BY THE DOT FOR 

TRANSPORTATION BY TRUCK, RAIL, OCEAN AND AIR TRANSPORT BECAUSE 

THEY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF 49 CFR 173.159.
