Maintenance of lead-acid bat-
teries
Lead-acid batteries have visible seal-
ing plugs. A regular battery mainte-
nance contributes to the full utilisa-
tion of the service life of the batter-
ies.
!
Caution:
Battery acid is caustic!
In event of acid droplets on the
skin, in the eyes or on clothing,
rinse immediately under running
water. Seek emergency medical
treatment!
