Anton/Bauer HyTRON 140 - Manual (Page 15)

5. Routine use of a battery at discharge rates greater than the battery
rating (e.g. >50w for Hytron 50) can reduce overall service life.
Always select the proper size battery for your application.
6. Discharging the battery for diagnostic purposes should only be
performed on an occasional basis (once every 6-8 weeks at most).
Unnecessary discharging only detracts from overall life.
7. Periodic cleaning of both the charger terminals and battery terminals
will ensure continued reliable operation. Dirty terminals may cause
the battery to indicate a steady red (“Hold”) mode on the charger.
Clean the terminals with a pencil eraser or lightly scrape the surface
with a blunt instrument to help reduce this situation.
