SELECTING AND INSTALLING THE BATTERY

BATTERY SELECTION

1. Battery Size (Group) to Use:
Model No. 2001 – Group 31 1000 CCA and up
Model No. 3001 – Group 31 1000 CCA and up
2. A high quality battery will last longer and perform better than a marginal quality battery.
3. Use a battery with a sealed top or with screw type flush fill caps. This will help prevent acid leakage
should unit be inadvertently laid flat or turned over.
4. Use battery with 3/8" threaded studs.
5. A high quality battery emits less gases as it recharges. Using this type of battery will extend charger
and wiring life. Battery acid and petroleum resistant wiring is used in this unit.
6. Check battery water level every 90-120 days to extend battery life.
