The level of electrolyte is low
Add distilled water, topping up each
element
according
to
the
instructions
The battery charger does not work
or is not adequate
See the battery charger instructions
as long as usual
There are considerable differences
in density between the various
elements of the battery
Replace the damaged battery
The battery is new and does not
provide 100% of the expected
performance
The battery must be run in by
performing
20-30
complete
charging and running down cycles
to
obtain
the
maximum
performance
The machine is used for the
maximum
of
its
power
for
continuous periods and the run time
is insufficient
When permitted and possible, use
batteries with a higher capacity or
replace the batteries with others
already charged
The battery runs down too
rapidly during use, even
though it has been charged
with the correct procedure
and at the end of charging
it is evenly charged when
tested by a hydrometer.
The electrolyte has evaporated and
does not completely cover the
plates
Add distilled water, topping up each
element until it covers the plates
then recharge the battery
The battery runs down too
rapidly
during
use,
charging
with
the
electronic battery charger
is too fast and at the end
the battery provides the
correct voltage (about 2.14
V per element without
load), but appears to be
uniformly
not
charged
when
tested
with
a
hydrometer
The
battery
supplied
by
the
manufacturer already filled with acid
has been stored too long before
being charged and used for the first
time
If recharging with the normal
battery charger is not effective,
perform a double charge:
- charge it slowly over a 10 hour
period at a current of 1/10 the
nominal capacity for 5 hours (e.g.
for a 100Ah(5) battery the current
must be set at 10A, using a
manual battery charger);
- rest for one hour;
- charge it with the normal battery
charger.
The battery has not been connected
to the battery charger (for example,
because the low voltage battery
charger
connector
has
been
incorrectly
connected
to
the
machine connector)
Connect the battery charger to the
battery connector
The battery charger and socket to
which it is connected are not
compatible.
Make sure the characteristics of the
power supply shown on the battery
charger rating plate are the same
as those of the mains electricity
supply.
The battery charger has not been
correctly installed
Taking into account the actual
voltage available at the power
socket,
make
sure
that the
connections of the primary of the
transformer inside the battery
charger are correct (consult the
battery charger manual)
At the end of charging with
the
electronic
battery
charger, the battery does
not provide the correct
voltage (about 2.14 V per
element without load) and
appears to be uniformly
not charged when tested
with a hydrometer
The battery charger does not work
Make sure there is voltage to the
battery charger, that the fuses are
not blown and that the current
reaches the battery; try charging
with another rectifier. If the battery
charger is not working, contact the
technical
service
centre
and
indicate the serial number of the
battery charger
At the end of charging with
the
electronic
battery
charger, the battery does
not provide the correct
One
or
more
elements
are
damaged
If possible, replace the damaged
elements.
For 6 or 12 V single block batteries,
replace the entire battery
