These batteries are dual-purpose. They are designed for engine start and cyclic applications and for use in vehicles with large accessory loads.
Recommended charging information:
Alternator:- 13.65 to 15.0 volts, no amperage limit.
Battery Charger:- 13.8 to 15.0 volts, 10 amps maximum, approximately for 6-12 hours.
Cyclic Applications:- 14.7 volts, no current limit as long as battery temperature remains below 125°F (51.7°C). When current falls below 1 amp, finish with 2 amp constant current for 1 hour.
Rapid Recharge:- Maximum voltage 15.6 volts (regulated), no current limit as long as battery temperature remains below 125°F (51.7°C). Charge until current drops below 1 amp.
