ACDeclo Sealed Maintenance Free (SMF)

ACDelco stands for quality. Get the performance you need with ACDelco products. ACDelco General Purpose Flooded Batteries feature an impact- and break-resistant plastic case for durability, including robust separator envelopes for extended battery life. With a terminal design that resists acid leaks, seepage corrosion and black post, the ACDelco General Purpose Flooded Battery delivers maintenance-free performance and ease of mind. Integral gas separators and flame arrestor vents help prevent possible damage from outside sparks. Premium technology in the metal alloys, and a higher amount of lead, create an impressive performance, even in the coldest temperatures. ACDelco products are developed to exceed your performance expectations and deliver the durability you expect.

Built in Hydrometer (Most Batteries) – Indicates state of charge
Factory-sealed – Makes these batteries truly maintenance-free.
Polypropylene Case – Reinforced design is precisely tailored to support the battery elements to withstand road shock and vibration. This strong durable material combines light weight with high impact strength.
Liquid-Gas Separator Area – Returns liquid to reservoir for longer life.
Integrated or rope handle- For ease of transport and installation.
Flame Arrestor – Safety system, prevents explosion from sparks outside the battery, minimizes acid leakage, prevents inflow of dust.
Heat Sealed Covers – Helps prevent electrolyte contamination and increase case strength. Centered cast on plate strap – Stronger than thinner gas-burned conventional connectors.
Low resistance Envelope Separators – Encapsulated negative plates help to prevent shorting/treeing between negative and positive plates as well as aid in vibration durability. Increased battery shelf life – Up to 12 months shelf life without charging due to the use of Calcium/Calcium grids. (Compared to conventional batteries.)

Recharge battery after each use.

Use a taper type charger set at 15.0 volts. Taper chargers help avoid overcharge by reducing the charge rate as the battery nears full charge. Follow instructions provided with the charger.

Determine the charging time that will be required. Check the built-in indicator and charge the battery for at least the number of hours shown in the charging table (located in “Charging Instructions” section). If the green ball is not visible in the indicator after charging, tap lightly on top to dislodge trapped air bubbles that might keep the green ball from floating into view. For the most accurate results allow the battery to rest for 12 hours then measure battery voltage, 12.8 volts is fully charged.

NOTE: A more definite charging time can be set if an accurate voltmeter is available for reading open circuit voltage.

DO NOT leave a battery connected to a battery charger after the battery is fully charged. Inspect battery every 2 hours when charging.

Keep battery in a cool place when storing for long periods (make sure battery is fully charged – a discharged battery’s electrolyte can freeze).

Keep battery terminals clean and free of corrosion. To remove corrosion from terminals, use a terminal brush.

For maximum battery life where electrical requirements are high, separate starting and running batteries are recommended.
