CAUTION! PLEASE READ!

Proper Charging is Crucial! Charge before initial use!

Be sure to read the S Series Instruction Sheet for full instructions.
Proper Charging is crucial to the life of your XS Power battery. It is very important that the temperature of the battery remains cool with respect to the charge voltage. The chart below will help ensure proper
charge voltage with different ranges of temperature.

Do Not Over-tighten Battery Terminals!

Whether using the automotive post adaptors, bolts or screws, the tightening
torque should never exceed 8 ft-lbs max on any XS Power Battery!
PROP 65 WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including lead and lead compounds, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Installation
Securely fasten the battery to the vehicle. XS Power 12-volt AGM Performance batteries
are designed to bolt into most automotive, truck and marine applications.

Connect the battery. Observe polarity carefully.

If you are running a dual battery set-up, make sure that the batteries are hooked up in
parallel(positive to positive and negative to negative). Parallel doubles the amperage and
reserve capacities whereas series(positive to negative) would double the voltage output.

When voltage is lower than 12.6V or storage time is longer than 6 months, the battery must
be recharged as described in the Care of XS Power 12-V AGM Battery on the instruction
sheet. (see figure 1.0 reverse)

When voltage is higher than 12.6V, the battery may be installed on the vehicle without any
refresh charge.

premature AGM battery failure and therefore should be avoided. The cells are compressed before insertion
