EC

Cycle Applications: Limit initial current to 2.16A. Charge until battery

voltage (under charge) reaches 14.40 to 14.70 volts at 68oF (20oC).
Hold at 14.40 to 14.70 volts until current drops to approximately 72mA.
Battery is fully charged under these conditions, and charger should
either be disconnected or switched to float voltage.
Float or Stand-By Service: Hold battery across constant voltage source of 13.50 to 13.80 volts continuously. When held at this
voltage, the battery will seek its own current level and maintain itself
in a fully charged condition.
NOTE: Due to the self-discharge characteristics of this type of battery, it is imperative that they be charged after 6-9 months of storage, otherwise permanent loss of capacity might occur as a result of
sulfation.
