CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS LEAD-ACID BATTERIES
The care and maintenance of the batteries is a crucial criterion for your batteries lifetime. Im-
proper maintenance, care and charging behavior can greatly reduce this, to irreparable damage
and premature catastrophic failure of the batteries. Lead-acid batteries should never be deeply
discharged, but always be operated under the highest possible voltage. Deep-discharged
batteries, for example, by total „run empty“ or by long storage, without charging (eg over winter
period) can force lead batteries getting sulfated and damage the cells. This process is irreversi-
ble in many cases resulting in total loss of the battery.
Do not think you „waste“ many charge cycles by recharging the lead-acid battery more often
although this is not „emptied „ completely - this is totally wrong! For the specifi ed life by
charging cycles, so-called full cycles are meant. This means that if your battery is low 50%
and then fully recharged, this corresponds to a half charging cycle. Twice recharge accordingly
means full cycle then.
We therefore recommend recharging the battery from a discharge of 25%. But then always
until the charger completely fi nished loading. This guarantees reaching a maximum allowable
voltage of the cells.
During the winter or long-term storage of vehicles with lead-acid batteries, it is imperative
charging at least once a month until charging is complete.
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM BATTERIES
LiFePo4 as well as Li-Ion batteries are charged diff erently compared to Lead Acid battery
packs. Therefore take care that you never mix up Lithium and Lead Acid chargers with each
other. Charging voltage and power can be signifi cantly diff erent between both battery techno-
logies. Also the diff erent lithium battery technologies do require diff erent chargers and can be
irreversible damaged if charged with non-original and not matching chargers - as well it can
lead to burning or exploding batteries in worst case.
Avoid deep-discharging of your Lithium battery and never store it at low temperatures especially
not below 0 degrees as this can bring irreversible damage to your battery pack.
WARNING:
Always follow these

ensure maximum battery
lifetime and performance.
