Discharge Current (A)

Cycle Applications: Limit initial current to 30A. Charge until battery voltage (under
charge) reaches 13.90 to 14.20 volts at 68F (20C). Hold at 13.90 to 14.20
volts until current drops to under 1000mA. 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 13.50
to 13.80 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, it is imperative that they be charged
within 6 months of storage, otherwise permanent loss of capacity might occur as a
result of sulfation.
