In order to lenghten the battery life it is recommended to follow few suggestions:

When the tension drops below 12.6V. it is necessary to recharge the battery.

Max. allowed recharging current is 1.8A.

The ideal recharge is achieved with an average charging current of 0.8 ÷ 1 A.
(recharging time of appr. 10 h.) and at an ambient temperature between 0° and
40°C.
ATTENTION:
An overcharge or an extremely quick charge with excessive current could damage the
battery ( the battery would tend to swell).
Choose a battery charger with the following characteristics:

Feed tension: 90/250 Vac – 50/60 Hz

Outlet tension: 15 V full charge – 13.8 stand-by

Max. outlet current: 2A full charge
During transportation or storage, the battery could loose its charge due to the self
