Normal Operation: The battery will charge during vehicle operation. Ensure your vehicle's charging system is functioning correctly.
Discharge: Avoid deep discharge whenever possible to prolong battery life.
Storage: If storing the battery for an extended period, ensure it is fully charged and stored in a cool, dry place. Periodically check the voltage and recharge if it drops below 12.5V.

6. Maintenance

Mighty Max SLA/AGM batteries are maintenance-free, meaning they do not require water additions. However, regular checks can help ensure long-term performance:

Terminal Inspection: Periodically check battery terminals for corrosion and ensure they are clean and tight. Clean any corrosion with a wire brush and a mixture of baking soda and water.
Battery Case: Inspect the battery case for any signs of damage, cracks, or swelling. If damage is observed, replace the battery immediately.
Voltage Check: For vehicles stored for extended periods, check the battery voltage every 1-2 months. If the voltage drops significantly, recharge the battery using a suitable charger.
Temperature: While the battery performs well in wide temperature ranges, extreme heat or cold during storage can affect its lifespan. Store in a moderate environment when possible.
