Battery Charging:
All batteries must be adequately vented during charging to avoid accumulation of explosive
hydrogen gasses. Never install or charge in a sealed container or room.
The following charging voltages are recommended for maximum battery life.
Charging Phase
Bulk/Absorb
Float
Charge voltage should be adjusted if battery temperature varies by more than 10°F from 77°F.
Conditioning/Equalizing Charge: 15.5 volts for 8 hours
Conditioning/equalizing should only be done when the battery is showing symptoms of capacity loss. If
conditioning/equalizing is necessary, first go through the normal charge cycle. Once the battery is as fully charged
as possible, start the conditioning/equalizing charge.
For maximum battery life, a battery must be recharged to 100% capacity. Recharging to less than 100% may
result in premature battery failure. Batteries are not covered under warranty if they are not recharged properly.

Knowing when to recharge:
For maximum battery life in cycling applications, do not discharge the battery bank below 50%. Discharging the
bank repeatedly to 100% will shorten the battery life. The open circuit voltages listed below correspond to the
various states of charge:
