STORAGE
A. Batteries are serviced and charged at the factory prior to shipment.
B. To prolong shelf life, batteries should be stored in a cool location, ideally
below 20C (68F).
C. The open circuit voltage (OCV) of a fully charged battery is approximately
26.0 volts (13.0 volts for 12 Volt batteries). As the battery state of charge
drops due to self-discharge, its OCV also declines.
D. Batteries should be boost charged when the OCV declines to 25.0 volts
(12.5 volts for 12 Volt batteries).
E. Batteries with an OCV below 25.0 volts (12.5 volts for 12 Volt batteries) due
to improper or inadequate boost charging must be capacity tested before
being placed in service.
F. Refer to the applicable CMM for detailed instructions on boost charging and
capacity testing.
