Clean the top of the battery and terminals with a damp cloth or non-metallic brush. A house-
hold cleaner may be used if the battery is extremely dirty.
●
Dry the battery with a clean cloth and keep the area around the battery clean and dry.
●
Ensure the battery is completely dry before reconnecting it to the charging source and/or
loads.
Checking Voltage
Please check the battery voltage periodically to assess battery health. If the battery is unable to
be activated with a charge/discharge current greater than 1A or the battery is activated with a
resting voltage below 10V, the battery may have been severely overdischarged due to self-dis-
charge or parasitic loads. Please stop using the battery until the fault can be corrected and the
battery can be charged.
Battery Storage
Please follow the tips below to ensure that the battery emerges from storage in a good condi-
tion:
●
Charge the battery to 30%~50% and disconnect it from the system.
●
Store the battery in an open, well ventilated, dry, clean area with temperatures between
-13°F~149°F (-25°C~65°C).
●
Handle the battery carefully to avoid sharp impacts or extreme pressure on the battery
casing.
●
Charge the battery at least once every 3~6 months to prevent overdischarge.
●
Fully charge the battery when it is taken out of storage.
●
DO NOT expose the battery to extreme temperatures over 149°F (65°C).
●
DO NOT expose the battery to heat sources.
●
DO NOT expose the battery to direct sunlight, moisture, or precipitation.
