• New batteries should be given a full charge before use.
• New deep cycle batteries need to be cycled several times before 

reaching full capacity (50-125 cycles, depending on type). Capacity 

will be limited during this time. Always make sure that all electrical 

accessories are grounded directly to the battery (-) post. Never use the 

chassis or body as a ground connection.

• Always observe all battery safety warnings and safe handling proce-

dures. 

• Always keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. 
• Always maintain a full charge on the batteries. For best battery life, 

batteries should not be discharged 80% of their rated capacity. Proper 

battery sizing will help avoid excessive discharge.

• Batteries should be kept clean and free of dirt and corrosion at all 

times.

• Vent caps should be correctly installed and tight during vehicle opera-

tion and battery charging.
