It’s best to use only insulated-handled tools when working with your battery, as well. Wet cell batteries like our Dry Charge batteries need to be filled with electrolyte (acid), which is dangerous to the eyes and skin. When working with acid, you should follow these simple precautions: Wear protective goggles to protect your eyes.
When activating your dry AGM battery, use only the dedicated acid container that comes with the battery to fill the battery cells. This original container has the proper amount of electrolyte for your battery. This is important for service life and battery performance.
Do not smoke when activating a battery or handling battery acid. Always wear plastic gloves and protective eye wear. Fill the battery with the electrolyte/battery acid that you purchased along with the battery. Do not use water or any other liquid to activate a battery. Electrolyte should be between 60 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit before filling.
Always use a charger specifically designed for lead acid batteries. Using the wrong charger can damage the battery and pose safety risks. 4. Follow Manufacturer’s Recommendations Refer to the battery manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions for charging procedures. Different battery models may have specific requirements. 5.
The charging time for a lead acid battery can vary depending on its capacity and the charging current. Typically, it takes around 8-16 hours to fully charge a lead acid battery, but this can be longer for larger batteries or if the battery is deeply discharged. What is the recommended charging voltage for a lead acid battery?
Fill the battery with the electrolyte/battery acid that you purchased along with the battery. Do not use water or any other liquid to activate a battery. Electrolyte should be between 60 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit before filling. If electrolyte is stored in a cold area, it should be warmed to room temperature before filling.
