FAQs
Can I mount the battery on its side?
Yes, the battery can be mounted in any orientation except for continuous inverted.
Is this a maintenance-free battery?
Yes, it uses an electrolyte suspension system and oxygen recombination, so it requires no water or electrolyte top-ups.
What is the weight of the REC10-12?
The battery weighs 3.4kg.
Does this battery leak if tipped over?
No, it features a sealed, leak-proof design.
Can I use this for both backup and regular cycling?
Yes, it is designed for both float (backup) and cyclic applications.
How should I store the battery if not in use?
Store in a cool, dry place and perform periodic top-up charges to compensate for the natural self-discharge.
Troubleshooting
Battery fails to hold a charge.
Check your charging equipment to ensure it provides the correct voltage and verify that all terminal connections are tight and free of oxidation.
Reduced runtime or power output.
Ensure the battery has not been subjected to excessive deep discharge cycles beyond its design capacity or left in a discharged state for too long.
Physical bulging or casing distortion.
Immediately disconnect the battery from the charger. This is often a sign of overcharging or exposure to excessive heat and the unit should be replaced.
Pros and Cons

- Durable design for long service life
Cons
- Not suitable for continuous inverted installation
- Requires proper charging profile for longevity
- Heavier than lithium-ion alternatives
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum service life, proper setup is critical. The battery uses quick-connect terminals for easy integration into existing circuits. When installing, ensure that the terminals are firmly connected to prevent arcing or resistance. While the battery is spill-proof, it should be kept in a well-ventilated area to avoid heat buildup. When charging, use a charger compatible with lead-acid battery profiles to prevent overcharging. Regularly inspect the terminals for corrosion and clean them if necessary with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not attempt to open the casing, as the battery is factory-sealed to maintain the oxygen recombination process.
