current for short periods of time. The service life of a stan-
dard automotive battery may be shortened considerably by
continuous deep discharge and recharge cycles. This type of
battery will work as an auxiliary battery to power your
radio system but is less than ideal.
Deep cycle battery. We recommend that you use either a
deep cycle marine/RV battery or a Gel Cell designed for this
purpose. Gel Cells are similar to conventional lead acid bat-
teries, except that the electrolyte is in a jelled state. Whereas
liquid electrolyte batteries must remain upright, some gel
cells may be mounted in any position.
Explosive gas. Gas escaping from batteries may be explo-
sive. Keep flame and sparks away. Because battery elec-
trolyte is chemically active (sulfuric acid), it is necessary to
keep the battery clean. Electrolyte collected on battery posts
can be neutralized with baking soda, but do not allow this to
enter the battery.
