The Victory Class Battery is shipped charged and wet. The open circuit
voltage for a Victory Class Battery is approximately 2.06V/cell.
Storage Time
Charged and wet batteries should be placed in service before the date
stamped on the shipping carton when stored at 77°F (25°C). The
indicated storage time is based on storage at 77°F (25°C) and is 6
months. If storage beyond this time is required or temperature is in
excess of 77°F (25°C), monitor battery at monthly intervals, if possible.
A convenient measurement technique is to read the open circuit voltage
and compare it with Table 5-A. If the open circuit voltage drops 0.02
volts from the nominal value, the cell(s) must be given a boost charge.
