Check voltage of maintenance-free batteries in stock with a digital voltmeter, on a routine basis every eight (8) weeks.

If battery voltage is below 12.4 V (75% charged), recharge battery to full capacity.

After charging battery and before measuring voltage, remove surface charge by applying a 15 amp load for

15 seconds.

To prevent storage related problems, batteries in stock longest should be sold first.
