AGM Battery Charging Recommendations – Low Charge
The nominal voltage for a Slingshot battery is 12.8 Volts when fully charged. The battery will self-discharge when disconnected from a vehicle, and will discharge at a faster rate when connected. If the battery voltage falls below 12.5V, it should be charged immediately using the recommended battery charger. Listed below are the recommended battery inspection schedules.
-
Batteries which are not connected to a vehicle should be inspected every 60 days. The battery must be charged if found to be below 12.5 volts.
-
Batteries which are connected to vehicles should be inspected when they arrive at your dealership and at least once every month thereafter. The battery must be charged if found to be below 12.5 volts.
-
Showroom vehicles used to demonstrate radio, display and infotainment features should be charged daily. If possible, these vehicles should be connected to the recommended battery charger continuously.
Always use the recommended automatic battery charger, and wait for the charger to complete the charge cycle before disconnecting it.
