These batteries are technically classed as maintenance-free as they are AGM but that does not mean you can neglect to charge. There are many different myths regarding the best way to charge, and you will probably get different answers depending on who you ask. Follow these tips, and you should be good. Upon delivery and before first use, charge until full; this could take 5 minutes or 5 hours, depending on your charger. Secondly, never leave the battery discharged; after every use, charge it to full as soon as possible. Lastly, if not going to be used for long periods, then charge before putting away and top up every four or five weeks. Please note that since our batteries are brand new, it may take up to 10 cycles for them to reach their full distance; this is completely normal.
