(–18°C to 32°C).
2. Stored lead-acid cells self discharge and must be
given a boost charge to prevent permanent performance
degradation.
0°F to 77°F (-18°C to 25°C) storage:
Batteries should be recharged six months from date
of manufacture.
>77°F (25°C) storage:
Use the chart below for recharge intervals. Voltage read-
ings should be taken on a monthly basis. Cells that reach
2.10V per cell or less should be recharged regardless of
scheduled interval. Record dates and conditions for all
charges during storage.
3. If a boost charge is required; the recommended charge is
