Low-Maintenance Battery

→ Avoid contact with caustic fluid.

→ Wear personal protective gear.

→ Ensure that there is good ventilation.

→ If you do come into contact, wash off immediately with plenty of warm water and contact a doctor if necessary.

Information 

Observe accident prevention regulations when working with electrolyte (battery acid). Only illuminate the inside of the battery with a torch. Always keep naked flames or cigarettes away from batteries. Observe the disposal regulations for batteries and sulphuric acid.

Information 

• Use a commercially available battery filling bottle. 
• The correct acid level of the battery is an important factor for long and efficient operation of the battery. 
• When the acid level is too low, a capacity loss (performance loss) of the battery occurs, which is caused by the cell plates drying out. If the cell plates are not surrounded by electrolyte (battery acid), this will lead to corrosion of the lead plates, the plate bridges and the cell connectors. The result of the corrosion is that battery functioning cannot be guaranteed. The battery will become unserviceable. 
• If the acid level is too high, damage can occur by the battery acid (sulphuric acid/water mixture) leaking out of the battery. 

1. Unscrew battery plugs.
2. Shine a torch into the battery. The acid level of the battery must be at the protruding lug.
   • If the acid level is too low, refill with distilled water using the battery filling bottle.
3. Screw in battery plugs again and ensure that they are seated correctly.
4. Remount battery cover.
