Transporting the battery
The battery case of the Power Kingdom PS60-12, made of durable ABS plastic, is securely sealed, which eliminates the possibility of electrolyte leakage. There are no restrictions on the transportation of batteries, they can be transported in any position in the following ways: by air, by sea, by road and by rail. Always follow the rules for transporting batteries, do not allow them to overheat.
Exploitation
Before using the battery, be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions. The battery's service life depends on the conditions under which it is used. Special attention should be paid to the temperature regime, preferably in the range from 20°C to 25°C. Avoid deep discharge of the battery, this can reduce the capacity and lead to premature failure of the product. Do not allow moisture, ice and dirt to get on the housing, this may cause corrosion of the terminals.
Charge
Fully charge the battery before using it for the first time. Pay attention to the value of the charging current. Optimally, if it is 10% of the battery capacity, a full charge with this current will take about 10 hours. For faster charging, you can increase the current value, but there is a limitation. Use only automatic chargers and make sure that the battery does not heat up more than 50°C. Charge the Power Kingdom PS60-12 battery after each use and before long-term storage.
Discharge
How long the battery lasts strongly depends on the depth of discharge, it is desirable that this discharge does not exceed 30% of the total capacity. It is important how the battery is discharged, the manufacturer specifies the permissible value of "Maximum discharge current". Frequent deep discharges can lead to a decrease in the quality characteristics of the product and even complete failure. Like other batteries, the Power Kingdom PK60-12 discharges over time even without load. The self-discharge value is only 3% per month, but do not neglect it. Let's look at how to store the battery correctly.
Storage and preparation for use
If you do not plan to use the battery for a long time (1 month or more), fully charge it. It needs to be recharged every six months, although self-discharge is less than % per month, but over time it can lead to a complete discharge of the product and its failure. Prepare a room for storing batteries, it should be dry, well-ventilated, and the temperature in it should be about +20-25°C. After a long break in operation, be sure to charge the battery to 100%, if 2 or more batteries are used in the circuit, then it is worth making an equalizing charge. This requires special knowledge and equipment, if you do not have them, contact the seller or manufacturer of the batteries.
Service life
The battery life of the Power Kingdom PK60-12 depends on many factors. The actual service life may differ significantly from that stated by the manufacturer (260 cycles when working in cyclic mode, 3~5 years in buffer mode), as it depends on many factors and the correct operation. The depth of discharge and temperature play an important role. To maximize battery life, it should be in the range from +20°C to +25°C.
