2.7 Charge Voltage per Cell vs. Temperature HE-6V7.7FR HE-12V7.7FR Charging vs Temperature The charging of Carefree batteries is best accomplished in a temperature range of 6 F to 9 F. Charging within this temperature range requires no temperature compensation. For applications over a wider temperature range, charging voltage must be changed as a function of temperature. (see chart at right) Capacity vs Temperature The efficiency of the lead-acid system decreases as the temperature decreases and increases as temperature increases from room temperature (7 ) as illustrated. These four curves shown are based on discharges at the 2 hour, 5 hour, 11/2 hour and 1 hour rates. Self-Discharge Characteristics High temperature increases the rate of self-discharge of all battery systems but even in this respect, the lead-calcium battery is perhaps least affected. In general, the rate of self-discharge can be expected to double for each 2 F rise in temperature above 7 F. Battery Operating Conditions & Cautions Battery contains toxic material (lead) and corrosive fluid (sulfuric acid) Charging can produce explosive gases Do not charge in gas tight enclosures Charge battery in a well-ventilated area away from sparks, flames or smoking Use approved voltage controlled charger Do not short-circuit battery terminals, as this can cause an explosion or fire Keep batteries and chargers away from children Charge battery as soon as possible after use Do not store battery in discharged state Do not puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incinerate MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY Installation Care All CAREFREE batteries are carefully assembled and with proper charging will provide excellent service. When placing the battery into service it must be inspected to make sure that the battery has not been damaged by rough handling. If the unit has been damaged, there is a possibility of a loss of a small amount of sulfuric acid electrolyte and possible corrosion of adjacent components. Any sulfuric acid can cause severe burns to the skin and eyes. If contact is made with a damaged battery, immediately wash the contacted area with water for at least 5 minutes. When installing the battery in equipment, ventilation must be provided. Toward the end of charge and under overcharge conditions, hydrogen and oxygen gas can be generated. If this gas is allowed to accumulate in the enclosure and a spark is introduced, an explosion could result.
