Rechargeable Batteries

Rechargeable lead-acid batteries are the same type used in automobiles. As with your car battery, how you use this battery has a significant impact on its lifespan. With proper use and treatment, a lead-acid battery can last for years. Here are some recommendations for getting the longest life from the internal battery.

General Usage	Fully charge the battery before using it.
	Charge the battery completely after each use.
Storage	For best product longevity, do not store at exceedingly hot (greater than
	90°F/32°C) or exceedingly cold (less than 32°F/0°C) temperatures.
	It is acceptable to leave your sound system plugged in. This will not
	overcharge the battery.
	If you leave the battery level low and do not charge it for 6 months, it may
	permanently lose capacity.
Repair	If the battery fails to charge, check your fuse near the power cable input. If your
	fuse is intact and it still will not charge, contact ION Audio at ionaudio.com.
Disposal	Bring the unit to a recycling center or dispose of in accordance with local
	ordinances.
