6. Topping-up
No electrolyte level measurement is
necessary if a Saft Celltopper Plus is
used which allows the correct level to
be obtained by a simple nozzle setting
when fitted with the correct spacer
tube.
Refer to Table B
for cell type
and corresponding spacer tube type. If
a filling pistol is not available, a clean
plastic filling bottle can be used for
topping-up.
Do not fill above the maximum (upper
line) level. All topping-up equipment
shall be dedicated to Ni-Cd batteries.
7. Periodic maintenance
Periodic maintenance should be
carried out every two years, or as
required.
■
Keep the battery clean using only
water. Do not use a wire brush or
solvents of any kind. Vent plugs can
be rinsed in clean water when dirty.
■
Check the electrolyte levels. Never
let the levels fall below the minimum
(lower line) level. Use only distilled or
deionized water for topping-up.
Frequency of topping-up must be
determined for each battery.
It depends on charging voltage,
temperature and actual utilization
of the battery.
Refer to Section 6
concerning topping-up.
■
Check torque of all upper nuts and
capscrews (if supplied).
■
Apply a thin layer of neutral vaseline
or anti-corrosion coating agreed by
Saft to all connectors, terminal nuts
and cap screws (if supplied).
■
Check charger settings. It is of great
importance that the recommended
charging voltage remains unchanged.
High water consumption of the
battery is usually caused by improper
voltage setting of the charger.
8. Changing electrolyte
Due to the sintered electrode / plastic
bonded technology, it is not necessary
to change the electrolyte during the
life-time of the cell(s).
9. Battery service and recycling
Contact your Saft representative
concerning battery testing.
Saft America Inc. is licensed to receive
and recycle spent batteries.
To protect the environment all used
batteries must be recycled.
