DO charge your lead-acid battery immediately after use.

DO always keep your lead-acid battery in a charged condition.

DO charge the battery immediately after use, as lead-acid batteries must always be kept in a charged condition.

DO realize that a lead-acid battery lasts longer with partial rather than full discharges. Use only 80% depth-of-discharge. Either recharge the battery more often or use a larger battery.

DO NOT over-cycle a lead-acid battery.

DO charge the lead-acid battery by using constant voltage to 2.40/cell (typical), followed by float held at 2.25V/cell.

DO keep the battery cool at all times.

DO NOT expect a fast charge (10h) of a lead-acid battery… it is not possible; it can remain on float charge.

DO apply a topping charge to the lead-acid battery every 6 months. Occasional discharge/ charge of the battery may improve performance.

DO store the lead-acid battery at a full state-of-charge.

DO NOT store your lead-acid battery below 2.10V/cell.

And lastly, DO NOT dispose of your lead-acid battery.  It must be recycled.

Remember that each battery has unique needs that must be met to obtain reliable service and long life. Because optimal handling of batteries is not always practical in real life, there is some room for deviation – but know that these deviations will lower the life expectancy of your battery to some degree.
