The charging voltage of the 12-V battery must not exceed 14.4 V.
The charging level and the method of charging are very important for the service life of the 12-V battery.
If the charging current or charging voltage are exceeded, the 12-V battery will be irreparably damaged.
If the 12-V battery is depleted by repeated starting, the 12-V battery must be charged immediately.
If the 12-V battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become over-discharged and
will be irreparably damaged.
The 12-V battery is maintenance-free.
