Battery Care The Flite 2 pump utilises sealed, valve regulated, lead/acid batteries. This type of battery requires no maintenance and when used in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions should give a life of approximately 400 charge/discharge cycles (based on 50% depth of discharge). Battery life is affected by a number of factors, but the most significant of these are overcharging and the depth of discharge in use.
