Lead-Acid Battery Care and Maintenance

Top 2 Battery Care Requirements

Charge battery before first use

. The battery may arrive with some charge, regardless of

this the battery must be charged for 12 hours on the initial charge and 5 – 12 for each

subsequent charge.

Charge battery immediately when it is depleted.

Do not store a depleted battery. This will

permanently impact the life of the battery. If the battery is going to be stored for a period of

time, fully charge the battery before storing.

Disconnect battery when not in use.

To prolong the life of a battery, disconnect it from the

unit when not in use. Disconnect chargers from the battery once charged.

To ensure the battery maintains optimum performance, follow the guidelines outlined below.

•

For best results, charge batteries in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C

•

When battery is charged, disconnect the charger from the power supply and remove the battery

from the charger.

•

Inspect the terminals, screws, clamps and cables for breakage, damage or loose connections.

These should be clean, tight and free of corrosion.

•

Use only with the battery charger specified by the manufacturer.

•

Ensure that the battery charger electrical cord is not subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate

the battery charger if it has a damaged electrical cord or plug.

•

Do not use the charger in wet areas or expose it to rain or water.

•

Keep the battery clean, dry, free of dirt and grime. A dirty battery can discharge across the grime on

top of the battery casing.

•

Apply a thin coating of high temperature grease to posts and cable connections for added

protection.

•

Inspect the battery case for obvious signs of physical damage or warpage. This usually indicates

the battery has been overheated or has been overcharged.

•

Batteries can explode in the presence of an ignition source, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk

of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open ﬂame. Exploding

batteries can propel debris and chemicals.

•

Do not open the battery – danger of short-circuiting and/or explosion.

•

Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble the battery pack or remove any of its components.

•

Do not touch the battery terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short-circuit and/or

personal injury may result.

•

Explosion hazard – protect the battery against heat; for example, direct sunlight and fire. Do not

store batteries in vehicles or locations subject to heat.

•

Explosion hazard – do not open and/or short-circuit the battery.

•

Poison hazard – battery leakage (liquid ejection). Under extreme conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery – avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, immediately seek medical attention,

and flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek medical attention, flush with clean

water for at least 10 minutes. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

•

Dispose of non-serviceable batteries in an environmentally responsible manner and according to

local regulations.

Failure to adhere to the requirements above may result in the battery becoming inoperative or battery

life being reduced. In extreme cases or abuse, battery overheating or fire may result.
