Using the battery
Installation and first use

Use the power supply with a constant
current.

Check that the voltage printed on the label
is the same as the nominal voltage of the
battery (36 V) and ensure the input voltage
is the same as that of your mains supply
(240 V – 50 Hz).

Install the battery ensuring that the power
cable is accessible for connection.

Connect the power supply to the battery.

Connect the power supply to the mains.
The battery indicator is yellow.

Charge the battery until the indicator turns
green. When charging the battery for the
first time, you will need to leave it charging
for at least 48 hours (the end of automatic
charging) to ensure a full charge.

Disconnect the mains supply and the
battery. Check the battery gauge indicator.
When the button is pressed, the indicator
turns green.

Connect the battery connector to your
application (the current consumption must
be less than the maximum 25 A). The
battery supplies the current required by
the application
CAUTION
NEVER:
Immerse the battery.
Use a power supply that is not suitable for charging
the battery.
Connect the battery in reverse polarity.
Open the battery outside the authorised networks,
dismantle the battery blocks or the cells (Please
note that the alkaline electrolyte is inside and that
exposure to this electrolyte can be dangerous).
Short circuit the battery (for example by placing a
metal cell in the connector).
Discharge the battery in abnormal conditions.
Expose the battery to high temperatures (This
could result in the cell and battery protectors being
activated).
Expose the battery to fire.
WARNING
If an electrolyte leak occurs, stop using the battery
immediately. The electrolyte is a corrosive product.
If the electrolyte comes into contact with the skin
or with clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water.
If the electrolyte comes into contact with the eyes,
wash thoroughly with water and seek medical
assistance immediately.
CAUTION
Electrical risks
With a battery connection at 36 V, the poles for
operation of the battery and the poles for charging
can function at over 50 volts during charging.
Contact with the body at 50 - 60 volts can cause
a minor electric shock.
The batteries can generate short circuit currents of
more than 100 amperes.
CAUTION
Do not wear rings, watches or bracelets when
working on batteries.
Short circuits through these objects could cause
severe burns and injuries.
Only use tools with insulated handles.
