Prolegomenon In order to install and use RITAR HR series battery correctly and safely, please read this technical manual and other data together with battery carefully for a comprehensive understanding. Pay attention to safety during installation to avoid accident. I t is required for users to read this manual carefully and keep it well.
6. Fix the bolts and nuts on the connection terminals of the battery to the specified torque; otherwise it may cause sparks or damages to the terminals. 7. Please clean the battery shell and cover with a damp cloth; to prevent static and spark, do not use a duster or a dry cloth to clean the battery.
4. Low Self Discharge Because of the use of lead-calcium grids alloy, RITAR batteries have low self discharge and reliable performance. In room temperature, self discharge ratio per month of RITAR battery is about 3% of the battery capacity.

Charge Characteristics Charge condition is one of the most important factors in battery use. The battery performance and service life are directly related to its charging methods and charging parameters in using.

Discharge Characteristic According to the difference of discharge rate, Discharge Characteristic Curves the cutoff voltage is also different. Larger 2 .1 0 discharge current sets lower cutoff voltage;...
8. Float Life Characteristic At recommended float charging situation at 25℃, HR series battery design life is over 15 years. Battery's usage lifetime is related with ambient temperature, depth of discharge, discharge rate and float charging voltage. In real usage, deep discharge, frequent discharge, incorrect float charging voltage will effect the battery lifetime directly.
Maintenance Put on a mask or a pair of protective glasses when approach batteries, make sure not put batteries next to fire/ smoking place. Proper maintenance can prolong battery life and help it meet the design requirements. A good battery maintenance program can help to judge when battery need to be replaced.
3. Battery cleaning Use cloth soaked in water or carbonic acid water to clear battery and cover. 4. Capacity test If batteries work properly, no need to check capacity. Check capacity only when battery capacity is in doubt. When battery is in discharge, the cut-off voltage should not be lower than the requirement in the technical manual.
