–
Keep sparks and open flames away from 12 V batteries.
–
Only charge 12 V batteries in well-ventilated rooms.
–
Maintain a minimum clearance from inflammable materials when charging 12 V batteries.
Minimum clearance
–
Do not charge deeply discharged 12 V batteries if the charge is already below the minimum voltage.
Minimum voltage before the start of the charge
–
Dispose of 12 V batteries with less than the minimum voltage correctly.
Note
Environmental hazard 12 V batteries contain environmentally hazardous materials.
–
Do not dispose of 12 V batteries as household waste.
–
Dispose of 12 V batteries at a collection point for used batteries.

Info
Even when there is no load on the 12 V battery, it discharges steadily.
The charging level and the method of charging are very important for the service life of the 12 V battery.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the service life of the battery.
If the charging current, charging voltage, and charging time are exceeded, the 12 V battery will be
destroyed.
If the 12 V battery is depleted from starting the vehicle repeatedly, the battery must be charged immedi-
ately.
If the 12 V battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become deeply discharged
and suffer a loss of capacity, destroying the battery.
The 12 V battery is maintenance-free.
