AGM Battery Charging Instructions

AGM Battery Charging Instructions:
To maximize the life of your AGM battery, it is imporatnt that it is properly charged. Over and under-charging a battery will result in shortnened service life. The best protection from improper charging is the use of a quality charger and routinely checking that the charger current and voltage settings are maintained.

AGM Battery Charger Inspection:
The charger cabling should be insulated and free of breaks or cuts. The cable connectors should be clean and properly match with the battery terminals to ensure a snug connection. The charger's AC cord should be free of breaks or cuts and the wall plug should be clean.

AGM Battery Charging Guidelines:
Fully charge batteries after each use. Charge in a ventilated area as gasses may be released through the pressure relief valve if the batteries are excessively over-charged. Never charge a fozen battery. Ideal charging temperatures: 32F - 104F (0C - 40C).

Battery Sulfation:
Even though lead sulfate is created in the materials of plates during normal discharging, this term is used to describe the generation of a different form (large crystals) of lead sulfate which will not readily convert back to normal material when the battery is charged. Sulfation occurs when a battery is stored too long in a discharged condition, if it is never fully charged, or if electrolyte has become abnormally low due to excessive water loss from overcharging and/or evaporation.

Proper charging of AGM batteries is required in order to prevent sulfation and premature battery failure.

We are getting ready to install solar panels on our warehouse!

Great News. We are preparing to have a new roof put on in order to install our 24V 230 Watt Power King Solar Panels for our building. We will also be installing a battery back up system using our Power King Deep Cycle Batteries. This solar energy system will be large enough to run our entire office of 10 computers, 3 Printers, flouresent lights, phones, calculators, and other office hardware. Stay tuned for continuing updates & pictures of our installation! If you have questions or comments, feel free to send us an email or give us a call. Thank you for your support.
