How to store and check batteries

We have collected our know-hows for optimal DN Automotive battery maintenance.

How to Store Your Battery
  • Before storage, check according to product instructions. If needed, charge, then store.

  • Avoid flammable areas.

  • Ensure the (+) terminal and (-) terminal do not causeshort-circuits.

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Recommended storage temperature is 10 ~ 25 ° C.

  • The battery will slowly deplete even during storage. To recover the lost capacity by self-discharge, check once every three months according to charging directions, and charge if needed.

  • Unless stored in a box, do not keep batteries standing on top of one another.

  • To prevent dropping or leakage, keep the batteries upright.

  • Keep batteries on a rack or pallet rather than the floor. Small pebbles or points on concrete floors may cause damage to the batteries and cause leakage.

Tips for Transporting Your Batteries
  • 01
    Do not tilt or overturn the battery when transporting. The electrolyte may leak and cause damage to clothing or cause burns.
  • 02
    Batteries are heavy. Do not transport with a heavy load. It may cause injuries due to falling or damaging during transportation.
Checking Battery Status

Check the product status indicator frequently. Proceed with appropriate maintenance accordingly.

* If your car does not start despite the product status lighting green (normal), consult a store or help center for a checkup
  • Normal

    The product is in a normal state. You may continue with the use.

  • Need Charging

    If the product still does not indicate “normal” after shaking, the battery requires charging.

  • Need Replacement

    This is when the battery lifespan is over or when when the electrolyte (sulfuric acid) is evaporated due to overcharging. Change your battery after checking your car.

  • Check for rust

    Check whether there is corrosion (rust) on the terminals. If there is any corrosion, remove the rust with a steel brush or other such tool, and apply an anticorrosive coat.
