LiteBlox Battery Charging Maintenance
LiteBlox Batteries require very little charging maintenance with every day use, for everyday use you can maintain or trickle charge now and then using lb100 if or when required. Certainly if the vechile is left unused as per the ‘standing time’ duration, the battery should be trickle charged to keep it at full capacity using lb100 as a minimum (larger batteries may require lb300).

Leaving the battery longer than the standing time with no use and no charge, can cause discharge of the LiteBlox battery, all batteries will discharge overtime with no use or maintenance. If this happens Do not panic, with the careful and attentive support from us and LiteBlox, an application of a particular voltage/wattage can be advised, only by us or LiteBlox support, this can help to wake up and charge the battery again.
We recommend from experience the LiteBlox lb300 Charger, as it has the capacity and better intelligence to instantly awaken a discharged or flat battery without trying various voltages, the lb300 is so smart, it just does the job.
