damage to the device, fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak,
and/or bodily injury.
• When storing the battery for an extended time, store within
the following temperature range: from 5° F to 104°F (from
-15° C to 40° C).
• Do not operate the battery outside of the following
temperature range: from 5° F to 122° F (from -15° C to 50°

Battery Tips
• The life expectancy of a sealed lead acid battery can be
extended by recharging often and not completely discharging
the battery.
• Sealed lead acid batteries slowly lose their charge while in
storage. For best results, charge the battery prior to use.
• When used in cold temperatures, sealed lead acid batteries
do not hold the charge as long as in warmer temperatures.
• To avoid spilling the internal acid, keep the battery in the
upright position.
• Sealed lead acid batteries are completely recyclable.
