Battery Mart Batteries
Batteries are a perishable item. Based on environmental temperatures they will self discharge. Follow these easy steps for longer battery life.
- Check electrolyte levels and be sure it is above the plates. Add water if necessary. Recharge battery after adding water. Do not over fill. Check levels every 30 days.
- Charge battery completely at room temperature only.
- Disconnect battery cables. Clean cables and terminals about every 3 months. Remove any accumulated deposits from the top of the battery.
- Store in a dry, cool place. Dampness may cause corrosion of terminals. Batteries may be stored on concrete surface without harm. Self discharge is minimised at lower temperatures.
- Check battery voltage every month. If below 12.4volts (6.2volts for 6 volt batteries), recharge overnight.
- Never leave batteries in a discharged condition, recharge at least once every 2 months.
