6. BATTERY CARE AND STORAGE
6.1 If a leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking acid and place
the battery in a plastic bag prior to disposal. Refer to the disposal
instructions in this manual.
6.2 If you will not be using the vehicle for an extended period of time,
unplug the battery from the main wiring harness of the vehicle.
6.3 Do not allow the battery to become completely run down/
discharged before charging.
NOTE: This is a lead-acid battery and does not retain a memory like
a NiCad battery. Therefore you do not need to completely discharge
the battery before you recharge it. In fact completely discharging the
battery will cause poor performance and premature failure.
6.4 Charge the battery before storing the vehicle. Storing the battery
in a discharged state will permanently damage the battery.
6.5 Charge the battery at least once a month, even if the vehicle is not
being used.
6.6 Always disconnect and remove the battery from the vehicle before
storing. Battery leakage and corrosion can damage the vehicle
and battery connectors.

or below -10° F (-23.3° C). Batteries that have less than a 40%
State-of-Charge will freeze at 0° F (-17.8° C) and fully discharged
batteries will freeze at approximately 20° F (-6.7° C).
