Density of the electrolyte
charged battery : 1,28 kg/dm3
discharged battery : 1,15 kg/dm3
Frost temperature of the electrolyte
charged battery : -40°c
discharged battery : -6°c

Consequences of several successive discharge before recharge or deep discharge:
charged battery
+/- 13V
The acid is attracted by the
lead: forming of lead sulfate
start
=
discharge
1
2
Acid erodes the lead
Accumulation of sulfate
deeply discharged
b/- 11V
3
Return of the acid into the water
Traces of acid and sulfate on
the lead plates
recharged battery
irreversible damage
= loss of power
4
Never completely discharge the Booster’s batteries.
n
The batteries do not have a memory effect.
n
Danger of irreversible sulphatation.
4.2. Starting
Important: on vehicles difficult to start, crank the engine for a maximum of 8-10 seconds
and wait for 3 minutes before further attempt to restart the vehicle.
n
Three reasons:
a. To allow the voltage of the Booster batteries to build up again.
b. To allow the renewal of gasses inside the batteries.
c. To allow the internal components of the batteries to cool down.
n
If you do not wait and/or the starting attempt is too long, you risk losing power, you
reduce your starting possibilities by the second attempt and you risk melting the power
fuse.
