High performance and long service
life of Power Source batteries depend upon correct charging.
Improper charging modes or inadequate charging equipment
result in decreased battery life and/or unsatisfactory
performance. Any of the conventional charging techniques may
be used, but to obtain maximum service life and capacity,
along with acceptable recharge time, constant current/constant
voltage charging is recommended. A charge quantity of 105-120%
of the previous discharged quantity is needed for fully
charging the battery. The charging voltage of battery
decreases with increasing temperature and increases with
decreasing temperature. At a temperature below 5°C(41°F) or
above 35°C(95°F), the temperature compensation for charging
voltage is necessary. At ambient temperature the compensation
will not be necessary. Overcharging should be avoided : As a
result of too high a charge voltage. excessive current will
flow after reaching full charge, causing decomposition of
water in the electrolyte and, hence, premature aging.
Undercharging should also be avoided : If too low a charge
voltage is applied, the charger current output will
essentially stop before the battery is fully charged. This
allows some of the lead sulfate to remain on the plates which
will eventually reduce capacity.

Handling Instructions
-
Do not short the terminals.
-
Do not place the battery near or in fires.
-
Do not use the battery in a container or bag without proper ventilation.
-
Operate at a temperature between -15 °C. To 50 °C. But for cycle use, the 5 °C to 35 °C temperature
range is recommended.
-
To properly store the battery, remove battery from equipment or charge and store in a dry and cool place.
Immediately recharge after discharging.
-
If sulfuric acid from the battery is spilled on skin or clothing, wash immediately with water. If acid comes in
contact with eyes, flush with large amounts of water and immediately see a doctor.
-
To obtain maximum life, the ripple current at the r.m.s current of the charger should be regulated to less
than 0.1 C(A).
-
Avoid mixed use of batteries. Different capacities, histories, or manufacturers of batteries may cause
damage to the batteries or other equipment.
