Battery Information:
This Aerator will operate with any deep cycle marine 12
volt battery. For best results use with a battery of at least a
100 ampere hour rating. As a general operating estimate a
100 ampere hour rated battery will provide you with over
4.5 hours of full performance use. If additional run time is
required you can select a battery with a higher ampere hour
rating, or have an additional battery charged and ready for
use.
For best results maintain your battery at full charge. Proper
care will ensure having battery power when you need it,
and will significantly improve the battery life. Failure
to recharge lead acid batteries within 12-24 hours is the
leading cause of premature battery failure. Be certain to
read all warnings supplied by your battery and charger
manufacturers and adhere to all safety requirements.
