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

Storage

Repair

Disposal

Fully charge the battery before using it.

Charge the battery completely after each use.

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.

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.

Bring the unit to a recycling center or dispose of in accordance with local
ordinances.

connections.

place where they will not be affected by water and cause a risk of electric shock. Do not
