Battery - WP12-BS

Power SourceTM batteries feature sealed construction to allow safe operation in any position. A specialized “oxygen cycle” recombines gases during overcharge so there is no need to add electrolyte, and they are factory precharged.

DEEP DISCHARGE RECOVERY

Special separators, advanced deep cycle plate composition, and a carefully balanced electrolyte system have greatly improved the capability of recovering from deep discharge, up to 800 cycles.

EASY SHIPPING

Nothing could be easier with Power SourceTM batteries. Leak-Proof construction virtually eliminates the need for special precautions, shipping containers, or government approval.

RUGGED CONSTRUCTION

High-Impact resistant ABS non-conductive plastic, styrene, or polypropylene make up the durable case and provides excellent resistance to vibrations, shock, chemicals, and temperature.

HIGH DISCHARGE RATE

Discharge currents of over ten times the rated capacity of the battery are a result of low internal resistance specifically found in Power SourceTM batteries. Smaller batteries may even be specific in applications requiring high peak currents.

LONG SHELF LIFE

Low self-discharge rate permits storage of fully charged batteries for up to one year at room temperature before charging is required. Lower room temperatures extend overall life.

WIDE OPERATING TEMPERATURE

Power SourceTM batteries may be discharged over a temperature range of -15°C to +50°C.

Battery Care & Maintenance

TOP-CHARGE AND PRECAUTIONS

Any VRLA-AGM battery will be damaged by continual undercharging or overcharging (Capacity is reduced and life is shortened), although PowerSource Batteries accept a charge very well due to their low internal resistance. Overcharging is extremely harmful to any VRLA battery because of the sealed design. Overcharging dries out the electrolyte by driving the oxygen and hydrogen out of the battery through the pressure relief valves which will lead to less capacity and shorter lifetime. If a battery is continually undercharged, a barrier layer of sulfate will build up on the positive plate which will impact recharging acceptability. Premature plate shedding can also happen. Performance is reduced and life is shortened.

It is critical that a charger be used that limits voltage. The charger must be temperature-compensated to prevent under or overcharging due to ambient temperature changes. The warranty is void if PowerSource Batteries are improperly charged. Use a good constant potential, temperature-compensated, voltage-regulated charger. Constant current chargers should never be used on VRLA batteries.

BATTERY STORAGE

If the battery has high temperature or poor ventilation during storage and delivery, the self-discharge will increase. So, keep good ventilation and keep away from fire, flame, heat supply etc. When storing the battery, take it off from the charger and load and keep it in the dry and cool place. Please supplement charge before use when the battery has been kept for a long time.

CAUTIONS:

1. Keep batteries in a place where children cannot reach.

2. Do not attempt to disassemble, revise, damage, impact, dispose batteries, otherwise the battery can leak, be overheated, or explode.

3. Do not dispose of the batteries in water, fire, and do not heat the batteries.

4. Do not short batteries.

5. Do not put your face near the top of batteries. Please wear gloves and eye protection when you measure or repair batteries.

6. There is sulfuric acid in the battery. Do not make contact with sulfuric acid and skin, clothes, or especially your eyes. If eyes make contact with sulfuric acid, please wash with a lot of clean water, and consult a physician immediately!

7. The suitable temperature is -15° C~ +50° C , but it will have longer life in temperatures from 20° C~+30° C . The operation circumstances
are defined as: discharging temperature range: -15° C~ +50° C ; charging temperature range 0° C~ +40° C .
