Batteries and Chargers
Lead-Acid (Gel Cell) Batteries
Lead-acid batteries are designed to prevent electrolyte leakage from the 
terminals or case. The electrolyte is suspended in a gel, which ensures safe, 
efficient operation in any position. Gel cells are classified as “Non-Spillable” 
and meet all requirements of the International Air Transport Association. 
Maintenance
These lead-acid batteries are maintenance-free. 
Note: The use of chargers other 
than those provided by 
manufacturor for use with these 
batteries is not recommended and 
may damage the battery or shorten 
its life.
Charging
The lead-acid cells are designed to be fully charged in 22 to 24 hours using a 
lead-acid battery charger. Do not exceed 24 hours or you may damage or 
shorten the life of the battery. The charge rate is 500 mA dc.
Temperature
At higher temperatures, the electrical capacity that can be taken out of a 
battery increases. At lower temperatures, the electrical capacity that can be 
taken out of a battery decreases. However, excessive heat destroys batteries. 
Avoid placing batteries near heat sources of any kind. To maximize battery 
life, operated the battery at an ambient temperature of 20 °C (70 °F). The 
permissible operating temperature range is -15 to 50 °C, however, use in the 
5 to 35 °C temperature range is recommended.
Storage
Store lead-acid batteries in a cool, dry place. Their low self-discharge rate and 
excellent charging characteristics permit storage for up to one year without 
loss of efficiency or appreciable deterioration of battery performance.
At room temperature the self-discharge rate of lead-acid batteries is 
approximately 3% of rated capacity per month. The self-discharge rate will 
vary as a function of ambient storage temperature.

acid batteries at various ambient temperatures.
