To maximize the lifespan and efficiency of OPzV batteries, follow these best practices:
- Use the Correct Charger: Always use a charger with an appropriate voltage and charge profile for OPzV batteries.
- Avoid Deep Discharges: Recharging the battery before it drops below 50% depth of discharge (DOD) extends battery life.
- Charge in a Well-Ventilated Area: Even though OPzV batteries are sealed, some gas generation can occur during charging.
- Monitor Temperature: High temperatures can shorten battery lifespan; use a charger with temperature compensation.
- Perform Regular Maintenance: Check the battery terminals and ensure the charger is functioning correctly.
Following these steps will help maintain OPzV battery health and efficiency.
