Battery Tips:

• Keeping your drive-thru batteries clean should be always be a main priority but we realize it is one that is easily more times than not, overlooked. You can maintain your batteries clean by using a soft bristled brush, pencil eraser or an alcohol moistened swab, use these to clean the contacts and terminals of the drive-thru batteries.
• When cleaning the drive-thru batteries you want make sure that the contacts and terminals are completely dry before you reinstall the battery to the drive-thru equipment or place it in the battery charger to be charged.
• When storing your batteries make sure they are in a dry and secure place. You do not want them to come in contact with damp, dirty, or extreme low/high temperatures. Also, make sure the is no contact between anything metallic that could potentially short the drive-thru batteries, such as keys, paper clip, etc.
• Handle the drive-thru batteries with care and dry hands at all times, dropping a battery could cause them to malfunction or cause the case to break which will void any warranty.
• Lastly do not throw away old or non-functioning batteries. Call local waste officials to find out about any recycling programs available to you.

We hope these tips will come to some use for you and will save you any time and or money on replacing your drive-thru batteries!
