BATTERIES
The batteries are designed to hold their power for
long periods of time. The lifetime of the batteries
is limited to number of charges the batteries
receive. To get the most life from the batteries,
recharge them immediately when the battery
discharge indicator begins to blink.
After every 200 hours of use check for loose
battery connections and clean the surface of the
batteries, including terminals and cable clamps,
using a strong solution of baking soda and water.
Brush the solution sparingly over the battery tops.
Do not allow any baking soda solution to enter the
batteries. Use a wire brush to clean the terminal
posts and the cable connectors. Wipe off all
cleaning solution residue. After cleaning, apply a
coating of clear battery post protectant to the
terminals and the cable connectors. Keep the tops
of the batteries clean and dry.
Objects made of metal can potentially short circuit
the batteries. Keep all metallic objects off the
batteries. Replace any worn or damaged wires.
Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell
before and after charging, and after every 50
hours of operation. Do not charge the batteries
unless the fluid is slightly ablove the battery
plates. If needed, add just enough distilled water
to cover the plates. Never add acid to the
batteries. Do not overfill. Always keep the battery
caps on, except when adding water or taking
hydrometer readings.
