Deep Cycle Battery

The chemistry and plate design of deep cycle

batteries are totally different than that of automotive

starting batteries. The grid metal used in the deep

cycle battery plate is speciﬁcally formulated to

increase the adhesion of high-density

active paste material. This provides

the best available running time,

cycle life and charge acceptance.

Crown Battery’s heavy-duty plate design also protects against the

stress of challenging Electric Vehicle (EV), motive power and RE (RE)

applications – which includes vibration, heat and overcharge.

Inspection & Handling 1. Do not allow batteries in your equipment to tip or operate at a severe angle in any direction. This would allow the battery electrolyte to push through the battery vent assembly. 2. Charge the batteries in your equipment in a well-ventilated area. 3. Upon receipt of your equipment, examine the batteries for signs of wetness or impact (which may indicate damage in shipment or that the batteries were tipped beyond a 45° angle during transit). 4.

Renewable Energy Charging Systems To maximize performance and life batteries should be recharged fully after each discharge period. To verify full recharging, regularly monitor individual battery voltage and specific gravity. As a general rule, the total input amperes from your RE charging source should be between 10% and 20% of the total amperehours (20 Hour Rating) of the battery system capacity.

Preventative Maintenance u Battery covers and terminals should be kept clean, dry and free of corrosion. Battery vent caps must be secured to the batteries during use and charging period. Remove vent caps only to inspect electrolyte levels or specific gravities. u When batteries or terminals require cleaning, use only biodegradable cleaner-neutralizer solutions that can be safely applied and disposed of through a common sanitary sewer.

Charging Guidelines – EV or Motive Power Service Original equipment systems usually include an automatic charging system for battery charging. To maximize battery life and performance, batteries should be charged as outlined in the operating instructions included with the charging equipment. In the event of a charging-related battery performance problem, consult the OEM or Crown Battery service department to seek technical support. Extra care spent in proper charging will ensure battery performance.

Troubleshooting A common procedure for troubleshooting battery performance involves a three-point procedure: 1. Visual Inspection: Check battery age or length of service if available. Inspect battery for damage - when physical damage to the battery container or terminals is present, replace the battery. If none, check the battery’s cell electrolyte levels.
