12.4 Living area battery
Observe the following to extend battery life:
„
Keep the battery surface clean and dry.
„
Check the acid level periodically and top up with desalinated or distilled
water as necessary. Never top up with acids.
„
If water loss is considerable, have the controller voltage checked by an
authorised specialist workshop.
„
Use an acid density measurement to check the battery's charging condi-
tion.
Acid density
z
The battery must be recharged if the acid density falls below 1.21 kg/l. If
battery acid with a density of 1.23 kg/l is used, the battery must be
recharged when the acid density falls below 1.18 kg/l.
z
With acid density of 1.21 kg/l, the battery is protected against freezing at
temperatures up to -15 °C (at 1.28 kg/l up to -70 °C).
The battery has cycle stability and is thus particularly suited for vehicle power
supply. Cycle stability means that several discharge/charging processes are
possible.
12.5 Fuel cell
12.5.1 Replacing the tank cartridge
„
Unscrew the tank cartridge connection from the empty tank cartridge.
„
Loosen the securing belt on the tank cartridge.
„
Remove empty tank cartridge from the tank cartridge holder.
Z
We recommend either Molykote PG 65 or Vaseline as lubricants.
Z
When replacing the battery, only use the same type of battery (same
capacity and voltage, cycle stability).
Z
Never use conventional car batteries (starter batteries). A lead acid battery
must not be replaced by a dryfill battery.
Z
Do not use so-called improvers.
X
When changing tank cartridges, do not smoke and avoid unshielded
flames. Fire hazard!
X
Methanol is toxic. Avoid inhaling, swallowing or any contact with the skin
or the eyes.
Z
When connecting the tank, make sure that the tank hose has no kinks and
that it is not squashed.
Z
Only use original SFC tank cartridges.
Z
The tank cartridge may only be replaced if the system is running.
Z
Any methanol emerging will evaporate without residue.
Z
Original tank cartridges are available from all authorised dealers and
service centres.
