SECTION 2 | MAINTENANCE
2.1 | BATTERY MAINTENANCE
This unit is equipped with either deep cycle 12-volt AGM maintenance-free batteries or deep cycle Group 27
batteries.
Batteries should be fully charged after each use. Opportunity charging can be done but the batteries should be fully
charged at least every other day if they are used daily. Charge in a ventilated area as gases may be released through
the pressure relief valve if the batteries are excessively over-charged.
NOTE: The surrounding temperature greatly affects the power reserve within a battery.
EXAMPLE: A battery that is 100% charged at 80°F (27°C) drops to 65% at 32°F (0°C). At 0°F (-18°C), this battery will
drop to 40% efficiency.
NEVER ADD ACID TO BATTERY!

BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES. KEEP SPARKS AND FLAME
AWAY FROM BATTERIES. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE CHARGING.

battery charge.
