Info
Even if there is no load on the battery, it loses power every day.
The charging level and type of charge are very important to the battery service life.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the battery's service life.
If the charging current, charging voltage, and charging time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the safety valves. This
reduces the battery capacity.
If the battery is depleted from starting the vehicle repeatedly, the battery must be charged immediately.
If the battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become over-discharged and sulfate, destroying the bat-
tery.
The battery is maintenance-free, i.e., the acid level does not have to be checked.
