BATTERY STORAGE

See General Warnings on page 1-1.
When storing batteries during the off-season or when maintaining a replacement stock, follow these guidelines:
1. Keep the batteries clean and free of corrosion. See Battery Care on page 16-16.
2. Batteries that are in vehicles for winter storage should be left disconnected in the vehicles if the batteries are
not going to be connected to a charger.
3. Fully charge the batteries prior to storage.
4. Store in a cool area. The colder the area in which the batteries are stored, the less the batteries will self-discharge.
Batteries stored at 0 °F (–17.8 °C) will discharge very little over a four-month period. Batteries stored at 80 °F
(26.7 °C) will have to be recharged every few weeks.
5. 48-volt electric vehicles and compatible battery chargers are designed to be left connected, with AC power to the
charger ON, during off-season storage. The storage charge feature will automatically charge the batteries as
needed throughout the storage period.
