Recommended Charging:
The following charging methods are recommended to ensure a long battery life: (Always use a
voltage regulated charger with voltage limits set as described below.)
Model: D34M
These batteries are designed for starting and deep cycle applications and for use in vehicles
with large accessory loads.
Recommended Charging Information:
Recharge time will vary according to temperature and charger characteristics. When using
Constant Voltage chargers, amperage will taper down as the battery becomes recharged. When
amperage drops below 1 amp, the battery will be close to a full state of charge.
Always use a voltage regulated battery charger with limits set to the above ratings. Overcharging
can cause the safety valves to open and battery gases to escape, causing premature end of life.
These gases are flammable! You cannot replace water in sealed batteries that have been
overcharged. Any battery that becomes very hot while charging should be disconnected
immediately.
Not fully charging a battery can result in poor performance and a reduction in capacity.
OPTIMA batteries can be shipped by AIR. The battery is nonspillable and is tested according to
ICAO Technical Instructions DOC. 9284-AN/905 to meet the requirements of Packing Instructions
No. 806 and is classified as non-regulated by IATA Special Provision A-48 and A-67 for UN2800.
Terminals must be protected from short circuit.
