1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a BattaMax battery, another quality product from Windy Nation. Deep cycle batteries
are a key component in various types of renewable energy systems and the primary method to store direct
current (DC) power produced from sources like solar panels and wind generators. A battery bank can provide a
relatively constant power source when the grid is down or during periods when your renewable energy system is
not producing power.
This manual contains vital information regarding proper care and maintenance of your new BattaMax battery.
Read through this User’s Guide carefully and completely BEFORE using and installing your battery.
The manual will provide safety guidelines and procedures for using your battery to ensure optimum performance
and long life. The manual will not provide details about any of the connected equipment to the battery (eg:
charge controllers, inverters, etc.). Information concerning any connected equipment should be available from
the equipment manufacturer.

2 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The BattaMax is an AGM battery, which is a lead-acid electric storage battery, sealed using special pressure
valves and designed to never be opened. The battery has all of its electrolyte absorbed in separators consisting
of a sponge-like mass of matted glass fibers using a recombination reaction to prevent the escape of hydrogen
and oxygen gases normally lost in a flooded lead-acid batteries (particularly in deep cycle applications).
The BattaMax is non-spillable meaning it can be operated in virtually any position and is completely
maintenance-free. Typically, new deep-cycle batteries will not immediately deliver their full rated capacity. This
is normal and should be expected since it takes time for a deep-cycle battery to reach maximum performance or
peak capacity; usually in less than 10 cycles.

When operating batteries at temperatures below 77°F (25°C), they will deliver less than the rated capacity. For
example at 0°F (-18°C) the battery will deliver 86% of its capacity and at 77°F (25°C) it will deliver 100% of its
capacity. Similarly, when operating batteries at temperatures above 77°F (25°C), they will deliver more than the
rated capacity but the battery life expectancy will be reduced. The overall life expectancy will vary by application,
frequency of usage and environmental temperature.

3 INSTALLATION
Deep-cycle AGM batteries release small amounts of gas during usage, particularly during the charging process.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation in the area where the batteries are to be installed. If using multiple
batteries, the empty space surrounding adjacent batteries should be at least 0.50” (12.7 mm) to permit airflow
around each battery.
The BattaMax is non-spillable and can be placed either upright or on their sides. The battery should never be
oriented upside down (terminals facing down).
Important: Batteries deliver large amounts of power that can cause injury and even death. Please observe the
rules set forth in Section 1.1 when working on or around batteries.
Caution: Risk of fire, explosion, or burns. Do not disassemble, heat above 70°C (160°F), or incinerate.
3.1 ENVIRONMENT
Batteries should be installed in a clean, dry, well ventilated area, keeping water, oil, and dirt away from the
batteries. The accumulation of these materials on the batteries can result in self-discharge and possible shortcircuits.
3.1.1 Temperature
Temperature is a major factor in battery performance and battery life expectancy. This is because at higher
temperatures there is more chemical activity inside a battery than at lower temperatures.
The following chart shows the temperature effects to the battery capacity:

Revision 2.0
It is important to note that the temperature of the battery and the ambient temperature can differ significantly. As
an ambient temperature can be changed rapidly, the battery temperature is slower to change due to the thermal
mass of the battery. Batteries that are exposed to colder climates should be kept at a higher State of Charge
(SOC) to prevent freezing. A frozen battery must be completely thawed prior to any use.
3.2 CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Faulty connections can lead to poor performance, terminal damage, and possible fire.
Battery cables provide the link between the batteries, equipment, and charging system. The battery cable
should be sized for the maximum load of the system where the voltage drop on the cable will not exceed 0.2
volts. To ensure proper connections, please use the wire gauge reference in Sec 3.2.1. Please note: UL and
NEC electrical cable amperage ratings are lower than the chart below.

Revision 2.0
3.2.2.2 5/16” Threaded Stud
Place a 5/16” cable lug (not included) over the threaded stud ensuring that the cable lug connection is
contacting the metal surface of the terminal. Place the flat washer on top of the cable lug, followed by the 5/16”
lock washer. Do not place washer between the terminal lead and the battery wire, which creates high resistance
and can cause terminal meltdown.
Add the 5/16” nut and tighten to a torque of 98-107 (in-lbs), 11-12 (Nm)
3.2.2.3 Terminal Protection
Corrosion can build up on terminals if they are not kept clean and dry. To prevent corrosion, apply a thin coat of
terminal protector spray that can be purchased through your local automotive parts dealer.
3.3 CONFIGURATION
Batteries can be connected in series (increases voltage, maintains ah capacity), in parallel (increases ah
capacity, maintains voltage), or in a combination of series and parallel.
3.3.1 Series Connection
A series connection will increase the system voltage and the system capacity (Ah) will remain unchanged.
For example, if two 12V batteries with 50Ah of capacity are wired in series, the resulting battery bank will be 24V
(12V + 12V = 24V) of 50Ah.

Revision 2.0
3.3.2 Parallel Connection
A parallel connection will increase the system capacity (Ah) and the system voltage will remain unchanged.
For example, if two 12V batteries with 50Ah of capacity are wired in series, the resulting battery bank will be 12V
of 100Ah (50Ah + 50Ah = 100Ah).
3.3.3 Series-Parallel Connection
A Series-Parallel connection will increase the system capacity (Ah) as well as increase the system voltage.
For example, if four 12V batteries with 50Ah of capacity are wired in series-parallel, the resulting battery bank
will be 24V of 100Ah.

4 SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
4.1 CHARGING
BattaMax batteries are charged at the factory and are ready for installation when they are received. Proper
charging will maximize battery performance and lifecycle. Undercharging as well as overcharging batteries will
significantly reduce the life of the battery. For optimum performance the use of a 3-stage charge controller is
recommended (Bulk, Absorption, and Float). The three stage charge process provides a somewhat higher
charge voltage to charge the battery quickly and safely. Once the battery is fully charged, a somewhat lower
voltage is applied to maintain the battery in a fully charged state.
Important: Batteries should be fully charged after each discharge of at least 30 minutes.
Charge only in well-ventilated areas.
Caution: Never charge a frozen battery and avoid charging at temperatures above 122°F (50°C).

4.1.3 Temperature Compensation
Many charge controllers offer a Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) that automatically adjusts the charging
parameters based on the measured battery temperature.
The temperature should be adjusted by subtracting 0.004 volt per cell from the voltage reading for every 1°C
above 25°C, or adding 0.004 volt per cell for every 1°C below 25°C.
4.2 DISCHARGING
Batteries should be sized so the rated capacity is double that of the required load. As an example, if the load will
require 50Ah on average, the battery capacity should be 100Ah. This will limit the average depth of discharge to
50% and will extend the life of the battery as shown below

4.3 MAINTENANCE
BattaMax batteries do not require equalizing or electrolyte leveling but periodic inspections and parameter
recording will ensure effective operation and identify issues before they become problematic.
1. Examine the outside appearance of the battery. The tops of the batteries and terminal connections
should be clean and dry, as well as free of dirt and corrosion.
2. Check for any evident fluids. If fluid is present on the top of the battery, it generally indicates that the
battery is being overcharged.
3. Check battery cables and connections. Replace any damaged cables and tighten any loose
connections.
4. The following will only be done when all electrical connections are completely disconnected from the
battery. Clean the top of the battery, terminals and connections with a cloth or brush, and a solution of
baking soda and water (1 cup of baking soda to 1 gallon of water). Rinse with water and dry with a clean
cloth and re-apply a thin coat of terminal protector spray. Thoroughly and completely dry the battery
before attaching electrical connections.
5 STORAGE
Batteries may be stored prior to installation for up to 2 years at 25oC (77oF).
NOTE: Store in a cool, dry location, protected from the elements.
Disconnect all connections to the battery and charge the battery to 100% SOC. When batteries are taken out of
storage, they should be recharged before use.
Batteries in storage should be boost charged every 3 months or when the SOC drops below 50%.

5.1 TEMPERATURE EFFECTS ON STORAGE
5.1.1 Hot Environments (greater than 90°F or 32°C)
Avoid direct exposure to heat sources, if possible, during storage as batteries self-discharge faster in high
temperatures. If batteries are stored during hot summer months, monitor the voltage every month as opposed to
every 3 months.
5.1.2 Cold Environments (less than 32°F or 0°C)
Avoid locations where freezing temperatures are expected, if possible, during storage. Batteries can freeze in
cold temperatures if they are not fully charged. If batteries are stored during cold winter months, it is critical that
they are kept fully charged at all times.
5.2 RECYCLING
Batteries that have reached the end of their service life should be returned to a local or regional collection center
for recycling. Batteries should never be discarded in the trash or a landfill and all local regulations and
ordinances must be followed.
Lead acid batteries have fortunately been an environmental success with more than 98% of all battery lead
being recycled. Batteries are at the top of the list as one of the most highly recycled consumer products.
Windy Nation supports a clean environment and we hope that you will do the same.
6 TESTING AND SUPPORT
These battery testing procedures are guidelines only for identifying a battery that may need to be replaced. It is
recommended that batteries configured in a battery bank are the same type and the same vintage.
IMPORTANT: Shock Hazard
Clean the battery and check all terminals as stated in Section 4.3. Ensure the battery is fully charged prior to
testing.
6.1 OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE
For accurate voltage readings, batteries must remain idle at least 6 hours, preferably up to 24 hours.
Measure the individual battery voltages and remove any battery with a voltage that is greater than 0.3V
compared to other batteries in set (e.g. battery bank).
6.2 DISCHARGE – CAPACITY
1. Connect a load or discharger to battery and start the discharge process.
2. Record the runtime (minutes) until the discharge is complete.

3. Normalize the runtime minutes for temperature using the following formula: Rc = Ra [1 – 0.004 (Bt - 80)]
i. Rc = Runtime Corrected
ii. Ra = Actual discharge time
iii. Bt = Battery temperature at end of discharge (°F)
If the discharge runtime is greater than 50% of the batteries’ rated capacity at that discharge rate, then all the
batteries are operational.
4. Restart the discharger to record the individual battery voltage while still under load (current being
drawn).
If the discharge runtime is less than 50% of the batteries’ rated capacity, the battery with a voltage that is 0.5V
lower than the highest voltage may be a failed battery.

6.4 LIMITED WARRANTY
Windy Nation warrants that the Battery (the “Product”), will be free from manufacturing defects in materials and
workmanship under normal authorized use consistent with product instructions for a period of one (1) year from
the date the original purchaser (“Customer”) receives the Product (the “Warranty Period”). This warranty
extends only to the original purchaser. The Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of
Windy Nation, its suppliers and affiliates for breach of the warranty is, at Windy Nation’s option, either (i) to
replace the Product (or defective component part(s)) with a new or reconditioned Product (or component
part(s)); (ii) to repair the reported problem; or (iii) to refund the purchase price of the Product. Repaired or
replaced products are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period only. No employee, agent,
dealer or other person is authorized to give any warranties on behalf of Windy Nation not expressly set forth in
this limited warranty.
6.5 RESTRICTIONS
No warranty will apply if the Product (i) has been altered or modified except by Windy Nation; (ii) has not been
installed, operated, repaired, or maintained in accordance with instructions supplied by Windy Nation; (iii) has
been subjected to abnormal physical, thermal or electrical stress, misuse, negligence, or accident. If Windy
Nation determines that the problem with the Product is not due to a manufacturing defect in Windy Nation’s
workmanship or materials, or otherwise does not qualify for warranty repair, then the Customer will be
responsible for the costs of all necessary repairs and expenses incurred by Windy Nation.
6.6 WARRANTY CLAIMS & RETURN PROCEDURES
To be eligible for service under this warranty, the Customer must submit a service request within the Warranty
Period by contacting Windy Nation in writing or via telephone and obtaining a Returned Materials Authorization
(“RMA”) number. This RMA must be obtained before returning any product under this warranty. Notification
must include a description of the alleged defect, the manner in which the Product was used, the serial number,
and the original purchase date in addition to the name, address, and telephone number of the Customer. Within
five (5) business days of the date of notification, Windy Nation will provide the Customer with an RMA number
and the location to which the Customer must return the defective Product. Any Product returned for warranty
service shall be shipped at the expense and risk of the Customer. The Customer must return the entire Product
kit (or, if authorized by Windy Nation, the defective component parts), within fifteen (15) days after issuance of

the RMA number. Windy Nation will be under no obligation to accept any returned Product that does not have a
valid RMA number. Customer’s failure to return the Product within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of an RMA
number may result in cancellation of the RMA. All parts that Windy Nation replaces shall become Windy
Nation’s property on the date Windy Nation ships the repaired Product or part back to the Customer. Windy
Nation will use all reasonable efforts within thirty (30) days of receipt of the defective Product to repair or replace
such Product. If a warranty claim is invalid for any reason, the Customer will be charged at Windy Nation’s thencurrent rates for services performed and will be charged for all necessary repairs and expense incurred by
Windy Nation. If Windy Nation determines that a warranty claim is valid, it will ship the repaired or replaced
Product to Customer at Windy Nation’s cost.

WINDY NATION EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR BODILY INJURIES OR DEATH THAT MAY
OCCUR, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, BY USE OF THE PRODUCT BY ANY PERSON.

damage or loss to any items or products connected to, powered by or otherwise attached to the Product. The
total cumulative liability to Customer, from all causes of action and all theories of liability, will be limited to and
will not exceed the purchase price of the Product paid by Customer. This warranty gives the Customer specific
legal rights and the Customer may also have other legal rights that vary from state to state.
