Sealed lead acid batteries
There are 2 sealed lead acid batteries 12 V / 5Ah in the battery pack of the
C
-max
. These batteries are sealed, maintenance free, rechargeable and of
top quality.
The batteries of your
C
-max
can be discharged or recharged in any possible
position. They are considered as safe as dry cells and admitted for air travel
according to DOT and IATA.
Please avoid a total discharge:
The durability of sealed lead acid batteries
depends primarily on the charge/discharge cycle. For instance, you may
discharge them partially more than 1000 times and use up the entire capa-
city more than 200 times, if you avoid a total discharge entirely.
A total discharge does not only lead to a loss of the batteries' capacity, but
also shortens their durability. Thus, do avoid a total discharge, by recharging
the batteries whenever possible!
F
Charging your batteries is taking good care of them.
F
Always charge your battery pack with the AAT charger delivered with
your c-max. This particular charger automatically turns off when the
batteries are fully charged keeping them from being overcharged
.
If fully charged batteries run empty faster as usual, then they are probably
used up. In such case please have them checked and, if nessesary, replaced
by AAT Alber Antriebstechnik or its representative
.
Damaged batteries you can turn in at designated places for proper recycling.
You may also return them to you authorized AAT representative.
