• Charger Specificity: Always use chargers with sufficient voltage designed for AGM batteries. Using an incorrect charger can lead to short circuits or damage.
• Temperature Matters: Charge batteries within the manufacturer's recommended temperature range. Charging outside this range can cause damage and reduce battery life.
• No Partial Charging: Continuously charging batteries to only a certain percentage can lead to a gradual loss of their ability to reach 100% capacity over time. Aim for full charges when possible.
• Clean Terminals: Periodically inspect terminals for corrosion and keep them clean and dry.
• Storage: Store the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure it is fully charged before long-term storage and periodically recharge it every 3-6 months.
