Notes on battery - AH54.10-P-0001-01A

All models 

) General information on batteries 

• Do not store batteries over a longer period at a storage point with direct solar radiation.
• Discharged or defective batteries can freeze, therefore store free from frost.
• Avoid polarity reversal and short-circuits.
• Do not place tool or other conducting objects on the battery (risk of short-circuit).
• Before removal and installation of batteries all switchable current consumers should be switched off, as well as the engine switched off so that inadvertent arcing is ruled out.
• Always disconnect the negative terminal first  and always connect the positive terminal first  .
• Only charge batteries with DC, 10 % of the capacity is recommended as charging current for slow charging and 50 % of the capacity recommended for fast charging.
• Only switch on the charger after connecting to the terminals and switch off before disconnecting.
• We recommend greasing the batteries slightly with battery terminal grease.
• If the battery is to remain in the parked vehicle for a longer time, the negative terminal should be disconnected.
• If possible batteries should be kept clean and dry.
• Batteries should not be stored over a longer period without recharging.

Notes on lead-gel batteries (additional battery for special bodies) 

• Lead-gel batteries are free from gassing, acid does not run out of them and are completely independent of position and maintenance free.
• When fast charging ensure that the housing of the lead-gel battery does not heat up excessively otherwise a pressure relief valve will be opened and the lead-gel battery will be defective.

Notes on lead acid batteries 

• Always store lead lead-acid batteries horizontally to prevent acid leaking out and do not tilt during transportation.
• When fast charging ensure that the housing of the lead-acid battery does not heat up excessively.
