This product contains Value Regulated Sealed Acid Batteries.
These batteries contain lead, a neurotoxin, and sulfuric acid, a corrosive. Additionally,
the energy stored in the batteries can present a shock hazard and a burn hazard.
Batteries should only be services by trained personnel. Appropriate safety precautions
must be observed, including eye protection and skin protection. Contact with electrolyte
requires flushing with generous amounts of clean water. Seek medical attention
immediately following contact with electrolyte. Unwanted batteries must be recycled
and should never be discarded.
The functional lifetime of batteries is significantly affected by the temperature at which
they are stored and operated. Ideally, batteries should be used in a 70° F (21° C)
environment. For every 15° F (8.3° C) increase in temperature, the life expectancy of a
battery will be halved.

Battery life is highly dependent on the ambient temperature and the number and depth of discharge
cycles. A discharged battery should be recharged as soon as possible. If the battery is left in a discharged
state, irreversible sulfation occurs, reducing the capacity (run-time) of the battery.
