How to use

Install the battery in the correct orientation inside a ventilated enclosure or dedicated battery compartment, following the equipment manufacturer’s instructions for terminal connection and polarity. Connect to the charging or control circuitry that provides an appropriate float or cyclic charging regime for sealed lead-acid batteries; avoid overcharging and deep discharges to prolong service life. Observe safety precautions for lead-acid batteries, including avoiding short circuits and protecting terminals from conductive debris.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, use a charger with a float voltage and charge algorithm suitable for sealed lead-acid batteries, perform periodic capacity checks in standby applications, and replace the battery when capacity drops below the level required by your system. Store batteries in a cool, dry place and avoid prolonged storage in a discharged condition.
