Info
Even whenthere is
no
load
on
the
battery,
it
discharges steadily.
The
charging
level and the method of
charging
are very
important
for the service life of the
battery.
Rapid recharging
with
a
high charging
current
shortens the service
life
of the battery.
lf
the
charging
current,
charging voltage, and charging time
are
exceeded, the battery will be destroyed.
If the
battery
is
depleted
from
starting
the vehicle
repeatedly,
the
battery
must
be
charged immediately.
If the
battery
is left in
a
discharged
state
for
an
extended
period,
it will become
over-discharged
and sul-
fated, destroying
the
battery.
The battery is maintenance-free, i.e., the acid level does
not have to
be checked.
