Note
Danger of damage An incorrectly selected charging mode will damage the 12-V battery.
Note
Environmental hazard 12 V batteries contain environmentally hazardous materials.
Note
Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
Info
Even when there is no load on the 12-V battery, it discharges steadily each day.
The charging level and the method of charging are very important for the service life of the 12-V battery.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the service life of the battery.
If the charging current, charging voltage, or charging time is exceeded, the 12 V battery will be destroyed.
If the 12-V battery is discharged by repeated starting, charge the 12-V battery immediately.
If the 12-V battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become deeply discharged and suffer a loss of capacity, destroying the battery.
The 12-V battery is maintenance-free.
