INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

a) Carefully remove the existing lead-acid battery from your vehicle following

the manufactures guidelines.

b) Next place the original battery next to your Battery Tender® Lithium

battery to compare the variation in size. The original battery may be the
same width but is longer in length and taller in height. To make up the
difference apply the appropriate amount of the adhesive foam to either the
Lithium battery or the battery box.

c) Ensure the battery now fits surely in the battery box and allows the battery

cables to reach the battery terminals with no issues.

d) The Battery Tender® Lithium battery allows the cable eyelets to be either

connected from the top or front side of the terminals. Choose the side that
matches your configuration the best.

e) Use the supplied hardware to attach the terminal rings to your battery. Do

not over-tighten the screws. (See diagram above)

f) Once installed apply a good quality anti-corrosion spray to the terminals.
g) Reinstall the vehicles protective battery caps, and cover the unused

terminals with the supplied caps to ensure the battery cannot short against
any part of the vehicle.

h) Battery Tender® Lithium batteries are pre-changed to 70% of capacity and

must be charged before use.

USAGE

a) There are a couple of damaging conditions for any Lithium starter battery,

they include prolong storage in high temperatures and allowing the battery
to be deeply discharged.

b) Compared to lead-acid batteries, the Battery Tender® Lithium battery has

less than 5% the average self-discharge rate and can be stored for much
longer periods without maintenance.

c) If there is no current draw from your vehicle when your ignition is off the

Battery Tender® Lithium battery can be stored for one year without

damage.
d) For long term storage the ideal temperature is 1ºC (34ºF).
e) The battery should be stored in a minimum charge state of 70%.
f) DO NOT use the battery in temperatures below -10ºC (14ºF).

CHARGING

a) Do not use a desulphation or pulse charger, doing so will damage the

battery and void the warranty.
b) Standard lead-acid chargers may be used, as long as they do not exceed

14.8Volts during charging.
c) Maximum charge rate is 10Amps.
d) It is strongly recommended the use of a lithium specific charger such as

the units in the Battery Tender® Lithium Charger series.

e) Do not allow the lithium battery to discharge below 8Volts as this will

damage the battery and void the warranty.

f) Do not charge the battery in temperatures below -10ºC (14ºF).
