Battery Storage
It is not necessary to remove the battery during

If the battery is left in the vehicle during storage or
used infrequently, disconnect the BLACK (-) nega-
tive battery cable to eliminate battery current drain
from the electrical equipment.
Recharge the battery once a month with an ap-
proved battery charger as per manufacturer's rec-
ommendations.
Clean battery, battery support and connections as

tion.
For other recommendations during storage, refer
to battery manufacturers instructions.

Ensure battery is stored in a safe place, out of
reach for children.

Battery Charging
WARNING
Always wear safety glasses and charge in a
well ventilated area. Never charge or boost a
battery while it is installed on vehicle. Do not
open the sealed cap during charging. Do not
place battery near open flame.
NOTICE
If battery becomes hot, stop charg-
ing and allow it to cool before continuing.
NOTE: Sealed VRLA batteries have an internal
safety valve. If battery pressure increases due to
overcharging, the valve opens to release excess
pressure, preventing battery damage.
An automatic charger is a fast and convenient way
for error-proof charging.
Always follow the battery manufacturer's charg-
ing instructions.
When using a constant current charger, charge
battery according to the chart below.
