Battery Maintenance
Lead acid batteries discharge when stored in any temperature. Units that are stored should have the battery recharged every three months and
before being put into service. To preserve optimum battery performance and life, recharge battery in storage when the open-circuit voltage drops
to 12.4 volts DC when measured across the battery terminals.
