Charging is not
necessary unless
100% of capacity
is required.
Charging before
use is necessary
to help recover
full capacity.
Charge may fail
to restore full
capacity. Do not
let batteries reach
this state.

Charging
Cycle Applications: Limit initial current to 1.02A. Charge until battery voltage
(under charge) reaches 14.4 to 14.7 volts at 68°F (20°C). Hold at 14.4 to 14.7
volts until current drops to under 34mA. Battery is fully charged under these
conditions, and charger should be disconnected or switched to “float” voltage.
“Float” or “Stand-By” Service: Hold battery across constant voltage source of
13.5 to 13.8 volts continuously. When held at this voltage, the battery will seek its
own current level and maintain itself in a fully charged condition.
Note: Due to the self-discharge characteristics of this type of battery, it is
imperative that they be charged within 6 months of storage, otherwise permanent
loss of capacity might occur as a result of sulfation.
