9.3 SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT

Deep-cycle lead acid batteries are capable of delivering large amounts of current when
shorted. It is for your own safety and the safety of your equipment that a short circuit
breaker should be added to your system. US Battery recommends the following when
determining the breaker size:

●

Determine your maximum current load. Turn on all your auxiliary units and any
high amperage equipment (Fridges, ACs, etc.)

●

Multiply the current load by 1.5. The extra 50% will act as a buffer for current
spikes or unexpected loads.

●

You now have the appropriate breaker size needed for your system.

9.4 DATE CODES

Date codes are found on all US Battery products indicating the month, year, and facto-
ry that they were manufactured.
