READ FIRST ABOUT BATTERY OPERATIONS!
BY OBSERVING A FEW SIMPLE RULES, YOU CAN EXTEND THE
LIFESPAN OF THE SEALED LEAD ACID (SLA) BATTERIES THAT
OPERATE YOUR AMPLIVOX BATTERY POWERED MOBILE LEC-
TERN;:
• FOR LONG TERM STORAGE (OVER 1 MONTH) WE
RECOMMEND DISCONNECTING THE SLA BATTERIES TO
AVOID GRADUAL, CONTINUOUS DISCHARGE.
• ALWAYS STORE SLA BATTERIES IN A CHARGED
CONDITION WHEN REMOVED FROM SERVICE.
• FOR SLA BATTERIES IN STORAGE, APPLY A TOPPING
CHARGE EVERY SIX MONTHS.

WILL CUT THE LIFE OF THE BATTERY SIGNIFICANTLY.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURES.
