Therefore the accumulator servicing should be carried out in every 500 Ah (all models). The
life span of the accumulators can be thereby extended. The amount in water which is
decomposed, nevertheless, depends very much on the personal driving style, on the
surroundings temperature and on the regularity of the vehicle use.
In the menu "Over charge" the overcharge counter is shown (not in mode 0). To appeal this
menu press the "up" key in the main menu. The overcharge counter indicates the overcharge
in the following manner: Counter: xxx Ah.

To be able to refill water a maintenance charge is necessary. The maintenance charge brings
the accumulators to a higher temperature and the electrolyte level in the accumulators on the
maximum state. WATER MAY BE FILLED IN ONLY AFTER COMPLETION OF A
MAINTANANCE CHARGE. If you refill water without maintenance charge the danger
insists that the following charges will bring the electrolyte to an overflow and thereby the
electrolyte concentration drops. This is not reversible and reduces the efficiency and the life
span of the accumulators.
Before the battery maintenance:
Make sure you have all mentioned parts of the Waterkit and fresh (maximum 1-month-old)
unopened distilled water in sufficient amount.
Check with the ReLight2010 the overcharge counter. Make battery maintenance about 500
Ah. If you have approx. 500 Ah overcharge you will need:
20 litres for the Berlingo/partner
15 litres for the Saxo / 106
If the counter points clearly more than 500 Ah you will need:
Up to 30 litres for the Berlingo/partner
Up to 20 litres for the Saxo / 106.
Note that the quality of your accumulators stands in direct connection with the quality of the
accumulator maintenance.
You can maximise the life span of your accumulators, if you carry out the accumulator
maintenance with 500 Ah and/or 10 litres in required water with the Saxo / to 106 and 14
litres with the Berlingo/partner.
The maintenance charge should be never carried out at temperatures less than 0 degrees
centigrade (or if it is to be seen that the temperature falls during the maintenance charge to
less than 0 degrees centigrade). The maintenance charge should not be done at temperatures
more than 35 degrees centigrade.
