What should I do with my battery before I store it for the winter?
Batteries in storage:
* Store batteries in fully charged condition. (12.6 volts 100% charge).
* Batteries will loose about 0.1 volt per month even when disconnected. (0.1 volt X 6 months = .6 volts. 12.6 volts - .6 volts = 12.0 volts, state of charge is less than 25% with no draw just setting).
* Charge your batteries every 30 days when disconnected in storage.
* Coach Battery NOT disconnected will use from 0.1 amp to 0.5 amp or more. (A 105 ah battery will be dead in less than 200 hours with a .5 amp draw). Remove the battery cables from the battery if you do not have a battery disconnect, and recharge every 30 days
What type of maintenance should I do for my 12-volt battery?
Battery Maintenance:
1. Keep the batteries clean.
2. Check the water levels and fill as needed. (distilled only)
3. Recharge batteries every 30 days even when not in use.
