Bescor lead acid batteries are rated to give 200 to 300 recharges when they are fully drained in each use. If the battery is only used for 50% of rated capacity up to 500 uses are possible. In the same way using only 30% of capacity can result in up to 1,000 uses.

Proper Charging, Care and Maintenance... It is always best to recharge a fully discharged battery as soon as possible (usually within 24 hours). Uncharged batteries will go bad if you wait too long before recharging. A partially discharged battery does not need charging immediately but if you are going to store it away do so after charging it to full capacity. These batteries (when 100% charged) can be stored up to six months, after which a topping charge is recommended. Always store the battery in a cool dry location.Do not overcharge or undercharge batteries. Constant over or undercharging will shorten battery life.

We make two types of chargers.

The first type is an inexpensive taper charger that provide overnight charging. They work great but it is necessary to monitor the battery and disconnect the charger when done. Whenever a battery has been drained only partially, the charge times must be adjusted. These chargers will overcharge your battery if left on after full charge has been reached.

The second type of charger we offer is an automatic shut off charger. Automatic chargers represent the best way to recharge and are fault free. The ATM-PRB is a 1.5 amp overnight automatic charger.
