Maintenance-free Lead Acid battery Guidelines for maintenance-free Batteries: 1. Battery should operate at temperatures between 15°C ~ 50°C. To ensure a longer life span, it should be kept between 5°C ~ 35°C. For optimum result, 20°C ~ 25°C will be ideal. When temperature falls 15 degrees below zero, battery will undergo some changes in its chemical contents and therefore cannot be recharged.
