Note: The following page is for vehicles with battery’s containing separate electrolyte pack.
Most battery’s will come with the electrolyte already sealed into the battery.
Preparing the battery:
· Place battery on level surface. Remove sealing tape from
top. (see figure 20)
· Take the electrolyte container out of the plastic bag.
· Place electrolyte container upside down with the sealed
silver mouths of the electrolyte bottles in line with the
six filler holes of the battery. (see figure 21)
· Push the container down strongly enough to break the
silver seals. (see figure 22)
· As electrolyte starts flowing into battery, air bubbles
will come up from the mouths of the plastic electrolyte
bottles.
· Leave bottles upside down in battery holes until
electrolyte is completely drained.
· Never leave children unattended around battery.
· f air bubbles cease to float to the top of the electrolyte
bottles, tap lightly on top.
· DO NOT remove container from battery while it is
draining.
· Never cut or pierce electrolyte container.
· After all the electrolyte has drained from the bottles into
the battery, pull plastic electrolyte bottles gently out of
the battery.
· Discard empty electrolyte bottles in a waste area that is
inaccessible to children and animals.
· After filling let battery stand for at least 30 minutes
before charging. This allows the electrolyte to penetrate
plates for optimum performance and ensures longer
battery life.
· After 30 minutes the battery is ready for its initial charge.
Place cap strip loosely over the filling holes as shown in
the picture. (see figure 23)
