WARNING:
Pay attention never to remove the sealing fastenings
of the MF battery.
Avoid the use of a nominal high potential battery
charge because this forces the high amperage
tension too quickly inside the battery, causing the
battery to overheat with consequent damage to the
plates.
If it is not possible to adjust the charging tension, make sure
not to charge the battery excessively.
Remove the battery from the vehicle before charging.
To reduce the risk of sparks, do not insert the battery charger
plug with the cables still connected to the battery. Before
removing the clips of the battery charger cables from the battery
terminals make sure that the battery charger is off.
Make sure that the clips are well connected to the battery
terminals and are not short circuited. A corroded clip can
provoke overheating at the contact point and a clip left behind
can cause sparking.
If the battery heats up during recharging, disconnect the battery
charger and let the battery cool down before continuing.
This is necessary to avoid the battery exploding. As illustrated
in the figure, the tension at empty of the MF battery stabilises
after about 30 minutes from completing the recharge. We
therefore advise waiting 30 minutes before measuring the
tension at empty.
