AGM BATTERY CHARGING RECOMMENDATIONS – LOW
CHARGE
The nominal voltage for a Slingshot battery is 12.8 Volts when fully charged. The
battery will self-discharge when disconnected from a vehicle, and will discharge
at a faster rate when connected. If the battery voltage falls below 12.5V, it should
be charged immediately using the recommended battery charger. Listed below
are the recommended battery inspection schedules.
• Batteries which are not connected to a vehicle should be inspected every 60
days. The battery must be charged if found to be below 12.5 volts.
• Batteries which are connected to vehicles should be inspected when they
arrive at your dealership and at least once every month thereafter. The battery
must be charged if found to be below 12.5 volts.
• Showroom vehicles used to demonstrate radio, display and infotainment
features should be charged daily. If possible, these vehicles should be
connected to the recommended battery charger continuously.
Always use the recommended automatic battery charger, and wait for the
charger to complete the charge cycle before disconnecting it.
AGM BATTERY CHARGING RECOMMENDATIONS –
DEEPLY DISCHARGED (BELOW 3 VOLTS)
AGM batteries discharged to a voltage of 3 volts or less may not be recognized
by the recommended automatic battery charger. (The minimum voltage
threshold recognized by other battery chargers may be as high as 10.5 volts).
Often times deeply discharged batteries can be restored by attaching another,
fully-charged, battery to “jump start” the low battery. Follow the steps below to
restore a deeply discharged battery.
1. Carefully connect the two batteries’ positive terminals, then the negative
terminals using jumper cables.
2. Connect the recommended battery charger to the low battery and initiate the
charging sequence.
WARNING
Always check to ensure the positive cables are connected to the positive
terminals before powering the charger on. Reversing polarity when charging
can damage electrical components and risk personal injury. Be careful not to
let battery cable clamps touch each other.
