Prolonged Storage
Battery charger, controller and other electronic devices need to be disconnected since they will contribute to the prema-
ture discharge of batteries.
During periods of storage, the batteries will need attention to keep them maintained and prevent discharge.
In high temperatures the chemical reaction is faster, while low temper-
atures cause the chemical reaction to slow down. A vehicle that is
stored at 90° F (32° C) will loose.002 of specific gravity each day. If a
fully charged battery has a specific gravity of 1.275, and the battery is
allowed to sit unused, it will become partially discharged. When it
reaches 1.240, which it will do in less than twenty days, it should be
recharged. If a battery is left in a discharged state, sulfating takes
place on and within the plates. This condition is not reversible and will
cause permanent damage to the battery. In order to prevent damage,
the battery should be recharged. A hydrometer (P/N 50900-G1) can be
used to determine the specific gravity and therefore the state of charge
of a battery.
In winter conditions, the battery must be fully charged to prevent the
possibility of freezing. A fully charged battery will not freeze in temper-
atures above -75° F (-60° C). Although the chemical reaction is slowed
in cold temperatures, the battery must be stored fully charged, and dis-
connected from any circuit that could discharge the battery. For porta-
ble chargers, disconnect the charging plug from the vehicle
receptacle. For on-board chargers, disconnect the charging harness
from the batteries. The batteries must be cleaned and all deposits neu-
tralized and removed from the battery case to prevent self discharge.
The batteries should be tested or recharged at thirty day minimum intervals.
