Installation:
Check the battery voltage with a voltmeter before fitting. If the voltage
Ÿ
is less than
A12.8 Volts, do a refresh charge (see charging section).
Ÿ
Always follow the manufacturer's instruction guidelines when
Ÿ
connecting the battery.
Connect the positive and negative leads correctly.
Ÿ
Fit the battery with spacer when needed for best possible fit.
Ÿ
Charging:
Both the generator and battery charger need to limit the voltage
Ÿ
between 14.0 - 15.0 Volts when charging. The battery cannot be fully
charged if charging voltage is less than 14.0 Volts, and the battery
would be damaged if the charging voltage is over 15.0 Volts.
The battery must be charged using the standard current specified in
Ÿ
charging label if the voltage is less than 8 Volts.
Always remove the battery from the generator before charging
Ÿ
separately.
Charge the battery with a lower current rather than the MAX Charging
Ÿ
Current found on the Charging label.
After charging, leave the battery for approximately 1 to 2 hours before
Ÿ
checking the voltage. If the voltage is less than 12.8 Volts, additional
charging is required.
If the battery becomes too hot to touch, stop charging. Allow battery to
Ÿ
cool before resuming.
Storage:
The battery should be stored with approximately 70% charge state.
Ÿ
The battery should be stored in clean, dry and ventilated environment (-20-40 Degrees Celsius),
Ÿ
not in contact with any corrosive substance and away from heat and fire.
The battery should be charged completely once every 180 days when in storage.
Ÿ
Transportation:
The battery should be transported with approximately 70% charge state.
Ÿ
The battery should be packed with insulation and shockproof material to avoid damage from
Ÿ
sudden jolts and collision.
The battery should be handled with care when loading and unloading during transport. Do not
Ÿ
throw the batteries and avoid collision.
Do not transport the batteries together with flammable, explosive objects, or sharp metal goods.
Ÿ
Maintenance:
Disconnection of the battery cable is always the best choice if the generator is in storage or used
Ÿ
infrequently. Use a standard charger to maintain the battery.
If the battery stands by for any period, check the voltage in case the voltage is lower than 12.8
Ÿ
Volts, and recharge according to the charging label.
Keep the connecting poles clean and securely fastened.
Ÿ
The battery is factory sealed and requires no topping up of any fluid. Never attempt to open the
Ÿ
battery.
1. Do not immerse the battery in water.
2. Do not use or store the battery near sources of fire or heat.
3. Do not reverse the positive (+) or negative (-) terminals.
4. Do not connect the battery directly to wall outlets.
5. Do not put the battery into a fire or apply direct heat to it.
6. Do not short-circuit the battery by connecting wires or other metal objects to the positive(+) and
negative(-) terminals.
7. Do not pierce the battery casing with a nail or other sharp objects, break it open with a hammer, or
step on it.
8. Do not strike, throw, or subject the battery to sever physical shock.
9. Do not directly solder the battery terminals.
10. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery in any way.
