AGM Battery Maintenance Tips
To help prolong battery life, if a power source is not available to use the 12V Battery Charge Port, it is recommended to remove the battery from a vehicle that is stored two months or longer. To maximize the life of stored batteries, they should be kept in a cool / dry location. Batteries will self discharge more rapidly when stored in extreme heat. Batteries should be maintained using the recommended battery charger while in storage.
Batteries which are not connected to a vehicle should be charged every two months.
Batteries will self-discharge more quickly when dirty. Periodic cleaning of the battery terminals using a terminal brush will help maximize battery life. Wash terminals with a solution of one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water. Rinse well with tap water and dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.
Battery connections should be tightened to the correct torque during installation. This will reduce voltage drop and ensure a reliable connection between the regulator / rectifier and battery.
