Charging Recommendations and Limitations
The below diagram is a reference on how to connect four batteries in parallel
in a 12V system. Before connecting, each battery must be independently fully
charged. This battery should never be installed in series with another battery
- The battery must be charged within a specified charging rate and the ceiling voltage of charging should be within the specification limits to avoid over charging. Over charging will lead to poor performance, mechanical instability, and possible safety issues.
- The battery should be used within specified discharge rate and the lowest voltage should be within the specification requirements to avoid over discharging. Over discharging will lead to poor performance, over heat, lead to battery failure, and possible safety issue.
- The battery must be used under required ambient environment according to specification. Too high or too low temperature may affect the performance of the battery.
- Constant charge/discharge rate not to exceed 0.5C to maximize the life span of the cell.
- Use the battery within 80% DOD to extend the service life of the cells.
- Battery must be fully charged and disconnected from all loads before storing for any amount of time.
Maintenance Suggestions
- For storage over one month, place the battery in a dry and ventilated room that is within the recommended storage temperatures.
- Do not store near corrosive material, fire, and heat sources.
- Discharge and charge the battery until full once every six months if not being used.
- In order to avoid over discharge, charge the battery periodically at the suggested battery storage voltage (13.3V, 80% SOC or greater) to avoid over discharge.
