7. STORAGE AND SHIPPING
The following tips will help ensure that your batteries emerge from storage in good condition:
î Store in a cool and dry location, protected from the elements.
î Disconnect from equipment to eliminate potential parasitic loads that may discharge the battery.
î Prior to long-term storage of the battery, Trojan Battery recommends that the battery be charged to at least 30%
state-of-charge. Storing a discharged battery can result in permanent damage or decreased run time.
î On Group 24 and Group 27 batteries, in order to turn the battery off for shipping or extended storage (3 months
or more), press and hold the status button. The status light will initially show the current state of the battery,
and after five seconds it will change to a solid red. At that point, release the button to turn the battery off. If the
button is not released after being held for fifteen seconds, the light will turn off and the battery shutdown process
will not be completed.
NOTE: IF THE BATTERY IS ATTACHED TO A CHARGER WHEN IT IS SHUT DOWN, IT MAY
TURN BACK ON.
î When batteries are taken out of storage they should be given an initial charge as outlined in Section 6 prior to use.
8. MAXIMIZING THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR TRILLIUM BATTERY
î Follow all the procedures in this User’s Guide for proper installation, maintenance, and storage.
î If you have any questions or concerns about battery care, please contact Trojan Battery Company’s technical
support engineers at 800-423-6569 Ext. 3045 or +1-562-236-3045 before a problem develops.
9. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR TRILLIUM BATTERY
î
Your Trillium battery will deliver rated capacity when it is new. No “break-in” period is required.
î When operating batteries at low temperatures, they will deliver less than the rated capacity.
î When operating batteries at high temperatures, battery life will be reduced.
î The life of a battery is difficult to predict and will vary by application, frequency of usage
and load characteristics.
