Proper charging practices are essential for maintaining battery care and health. Follow these steps to ensure your battery is charged correctly:

  1. Use the Correct Charger: Always use the charger provided by Strident Innovation with our batteries. Using an incompatible charger can damage the battery.
  2. Charge Regularly: For daily use, it’s best to charge your battery every night, even on low use days. Avoid letting the battery discharge completely before recharging.
  3. Monitor Charging Time: Do not overcharge your battery. Once it reaches full charge, disconnect it from the charger. Most chargers have an indicator light to signal when charging is complete.
  4. Use The Correct Charger Size:  As a rule of thumb you work on 10% of battery capacity (ie: 50Ah battery x 10% = 5 so you require a 5 amp charger).
  5. Replace Your Charger: It is our recommendation to replace the charger every 2 years as after 2 years of 8hr charging everyday, the electronics will reduce in output and therefore result in battery damage.

How to Store Your Battery

Proper storage is imperative for battery care. It can extend its life and maintain its performance. Follow these guidelines for safe storage:

  1. Cool, Dry Place: Store your battery in a cool, dry environment. Avoid areas with high humidity or extreme temperatures.
  2. Partially Charged for Long-Term Storage: If you plan to store the battery for an extended period ensure that it is fully charged and check once a month to recharge as needed.
  3. Regular Maintenance: Even when not in use, charge your battery every 3-6 months to maintain its health.

Troubleshooting Common Battery Issues

Occasionally, you might encounter issues with your battery. Here are some common problems and their solutions:

  1. Battery Not Charging: Check the connections between the battery and charger. Ensure the charger is plugged into a working outlet. If the problem persists, the charger or battery may need replacing.
  2. Short Battery Life: This could be due to old age, improper charging habits, or heavy usage. Review your charging practices and consider replacing the battery if it’s over 2-3 years old.
  3. Overheating: If the battery gets excessively hot during use or charging, stop using it immediately and contact customer support. Overheating can indicate a serious issue.
