Notes on battery storage
• Batteries should always be stored fully charged in a cool and dry place to maintain maximum service life.
• Depending on storage temperature, batteries hold their charge for 3 to 6 months until a recharge is necessary. Above 30°C (86°F), recharge at 6 months. Above 40°C (104°F), recharge at 3 months. Do not store above 40°C (104°t).
• If a battery Is stored for 6 months or longer without being charged, its service life may be shortened.
• Never store batteries in a sealed environment or incorporate it into a sealed structure/enclosure without adequate ventilation.
Usage Precautions
SLA batteries, if used under recommended conditions, generate no sulfuric acid gasses. However, because they contain lead and sulfuric acid, which are both toxic, proper care and handling is important in order to avoid accidental fires, damage to property, bodily injuries, or even death.
