Product Usage Instructions
Caution: – Avoid short circuit – Do not charge
in sealed container – Keep sparks, flame away
The battery should be charged using a constant voltage charge
method. For cycle use, the charging voltage should be maintained
between 14.5V and 14.9V. For standby use, the charging voltage
should be maintained between 13.6V and 13.8V. The initial charging
current should be less than 3.6A.
When discharging the battery, refer to the discharge
characteristic curve provided in the user manual to determine the
expected discharge time at different discharge rates.
The battery’s performance and lifespan are affected by
temperature. The relationship between charging voltage and
temperature is provided in the manual. It is recommended to operate
the battery within the specified temperature range to optimize its
performance.
The cycle service life of the battery is influenced by the depth
of discharge (DOD). The user manual provides a graph showing the
number of cycles the battery can withstand at different DOD
levels.
