Notes On Battery - Ah54.10-P-0001-01A

MODEL ALL 

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 any tools 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 detach 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.
• If the battery is to remain in the parked vehicle for an extended period, the negative terminal should be disconnected.
• If possible batteries should be kept clean and dry.

Notes on lead gel batteries or absorbent glass mat batteries (VRLA, AGM) 

• The battery is leaktight and can therefore be installed in any position.
• The battery is maintenance free.
• The battery housing is encapsulated.
• When quick-charging, it is important to ensure that the housing of the battery does not heat up too much, otherwise damage can occur.

Notes on lead acid batteries 

• Always store 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.

Notes on lithium-ion batteries 

• The battery is leaktight and can therefore be installed in any position.
• The battery is maintenance free.
• The battery housing is bolted and must not be opened.
• When quick-charging, it is important to ensure that the housing of the battery does not heat up too much, otherwise damage can occur.
• At battery temperatures < 0°C, the charging voltage must be limited to 13.5V or the battery must be conditioned to room temperature prior to charging.
• The battery should only be stored in its original packaging when it is removed from the vehicle.
• The battery belongs to hazardous material class 9, II and must be handled in accordance with the relevant regulations.
