  Appendix: Important aspects for proper filling 

 
 
Procedure:

 

 

  Repeated start-up of the filling operation may lead to the cells getting overfilled. 

As soon as the waterfilling cart has shut down, all cells are completely filled.  

 

  Ensure that the waterfilling cart is connected to the proper power supply when 

charging it.  

 

  While filling, the waterfilling cart should not be connected to the mains supply. 

 

  The waterfilling cart should be stored and operated only at temperatures > 0°C. 

 
 
Installation:

 

 

  Avoid  the  hose  pipes  from  getting  entangled  since  the  flow  rate  would 

otherwise get reduced. The hose pipes should not get twisted. If angles of 90° 
are  required,  appropriate  angular  connectors  must  be  used.  Hose  pipes  of 
different diameters should not be used on one battery. 

 

  Take care to see that all hose pipes fit securely on the connecting pieces of 

the  plugs  and  that  the  plugs  are  installed  properly  in  the  cells.  Leakages 
resulting from improper installation affect the proper working of the system and 
lead  to  the  cells  getting  overfilled  and  discharge  of  the  electrolyte.
