2.17 Batteries
A Gremo can be equipped with wet cell or dry cell batteries.
When a dry cell battery is depleted, a diode will illuminate
red on the screen, or not illuminate at all. Wet cell batteries
must be checked so that the fluid level is above the cells.
Depleted batteries must be disposed of as hazardous
waste.
When start-up help is required, use corresponding series-
connected 24 V batteries and connect them over both
batteries’ poles: one battery’s + pole and the other
battery’s - pole or earth.
Do not use a start booster. The maximum permitted
voltage in the system is 28 V.
Charge the batteries using a battery charger designed for
a 24 V system.
