damaged. A fully charged battery will not freeze at -900F. (-67°C.).
Run 'the. plant for at least 20 minutes after adding water, to assure
mixing the water with the electrolyte.
HIGH TEMPERATURES
If the plant is to be opera,ted in abnormally high temperatures,(abov;e •.
100°F., or 38°e.), provide sUfficient air circulation for proper cooling.
