8.2. MAINTENANCE OF THE BATTERIES
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
NOTICE
The electrolyte is very corrosive - always use protective clothing and eye protectors
Charging of the batteries generates hydrogen gas. Keep away from open flame.
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Always keep the batteries well charged
• Keeping batteries discharged is extremely harmful. Modern chargers do not charge
batteries excessively.
• Make sure the user is aware that the batteries must be plugged in for charging every
night, although they were not totally flat.
• Plug in a rental machine for charging over night immediately after it is returned.
Do not allow the batteries to freeze
• A fully charged battery stands out for frost, a flat battery does not.
• Make sure the batteries are charged, if they are kept outdoors in the winter.
Make sure the level of electrolyte in the battery is correct
• Top up distilled water only after the charging is finished. Correct level of the electrolyte is
3 mm below the edge of the mark.
• If the level is too high, the liquid will spume out from the plugs during charging.
• If the level is too low, the upper edges of the elements will corrode.
• If the level of the electrolyte is so low, that the tops of the elements are not submerged,
top up water as much as is required to cover the elements. After that, charge the batteries
and recheck the electrolyte level after the charging is finished.
• Do not add into the battery acid, but only distilled water.
Check the batteries regularly
• Keep the batteries clean externally. You can wash the batteries with warm water and a
brush. Make sure the plugs for the cells are closed so that washing water cannot enter
the cells.
• Check the condition and attachment of the cables and the tightness of the connectors
regularly.
• Check that the batteries do not show cracks or leaks.
