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.

12.5.1
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.
