(For: Lead Acid Battery)
A long period of inactivity can be extremely harmful to lead acid batteries. When placing a battery into storage,
follow the procedure below to ensure that the battery remains healthy and ready for use.
You can store, charge or operate the batteries on a concrete floor.
Avoid locations where freezing temperature are expected. Keeping a battery at a high state of charge will also
prevent freezing. Freezing results in irreparable damage to the battery's plates and container.
Avoid direct exposure to heat sources, such as radiators or heaters. Temperatures above 26.6°C (79.8°F)
accelerate the battery's self discharge characteristics.
Storage Procedure
1. Completely charge the battery before storing.
2. Store the battery in cool, dry location, and protected from the elements.
3. During storage monitor the specific gravity (flooded) or voltage. Batteries in storage should give a boost
charge when they show a 70% charge or less.
4. Completely charge the battery before re-activating.
5. For optimum performance, equalise the batteries (flooded) before putting them back into service.
(For: Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery)
When storing the machine for prolonged periods, keep the batteries installed in the machine.
Storage Procedure
1. Completely charge the battery before storing the machine.
2. Store the machine in a cool, dry location and protect from the elements.
3. If possible, store the machine with AC (Alternating Current) power connected.
4. If not stored connected to AC power, then connect AC power so that the batteries can charge for 48hrs
before use.
Take out of Storage
After long-term storage, it is recommended to service the machine before operation. For more information
contact your JCB dealer.
