Other hardware may damage terminals and shouldnot be used. The spacers are required for side mount cable installation only! The top mount terminal position does not requirethe round spacers, use supplied bolts only!‡ETX14, ETX15, ETX16, and ETX16L batteries may require included height adapter(s) for secure installation into the vehicle.If the adapter is not needed, discard.Installation of height adapter(s): Remove adapter(s) from top of battery, flip adapter over (tabs facing up) and install on the bottomof battery. Battery should fit securely between tabs. Installation of an adapter will raise the height of the battery allowing use of thevehicle’s original hold-down. Be sure the battery is securely anchored in the battery tray. If not, modifications to the vehicle’s hold-downmay be necessary.Safe Battery ChargingThe Premium AGM Power Sports Battery Line is a sealed valveregulated design. Proper charging is important since over-chargingand undercharging will damage the product. We recommend the useof a voltage regulated charger having on-charge voltage, at roomtemperature, at or between 14.4 to 14.6 volts at 68°F (20°C).The only way to determine state of charge of your Power Sports Batteryis with a voltmeter. The chart at right shows the relationship of stabilizedvoltage to state of charge.For general battery charing instructions, see page 3 and 4.OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGEAS IT RELATES TO STATE OF CHARGE.Open Circuit Voltage* State of Charge12.80 or greater . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100%12.60 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 75%12.30 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50%12.00 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25%11.80 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0%* The actual stabilized OCV can only be determined after thebattery has been removed from the charger for 24 hours.8
