OPERATION Battery Use • New batteries should be given a full charge before use. • New deep cycle batteries need to be cycled several times before reaching full capacity (50-125 cycles, depending on type). Capacity will be limited during this time. Always make sure that all electrical accessories are grounded directly to the battery (-) post. Never use the chassis or body as a ground connection. • Always observe all battery safety warnings and safe handling procedures. • Always keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. • Always maintain a full charge on the batteries. For best battery life, batteries should not be discharged 80% of their rated capacity. Proper battery sizing will help avoid excessive discharge. • Batteries should be kept clean and free of dirt and corrosion at all times. • Vent caps should be correctly installed and tight during vehicle operation and battery charging. 52
