AH54.10-P-0001-01A Notes On Battery

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.
