to 13.8 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 of this type of battery, it is imperative
that they be charged within 6 months of storage, otherwise permanent loss of
capacity might occur as a result of sulfation.
Chargers
Power-Sonic offers a wide range of chargers suitable for batteries up to 100AH.
Please refer to the Charger Selection Guide in our specification sheets for “C-Series
Switch Mode Chargers” and “Transformer Type A and F Series”. Please contact our
Technical department for advice if you have difficulty in locating suitable models.
