Topping-up operation:

Check the electrolyte level. Never let
the level fall below the minimum level
mark. Use only distilled or deionized
water to top-up.
Frequency of topping-up must be
determined for each battery. 
It depends on charging voltage and
real utilization of the battery. Refer 
to section 6 concerning topping-up.

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 cells.

9. Environment

To protect the environment all used
batteries must be recycled. 
Contact your local Saft representative 
for information.

Batteries equipped with water filling
system:

• Remove transport seals and connect

hydraulic tubing between cells up to 
a maximum of 50 cells.

• Make sure that the tubes are

completely inserted for a good seal.

• The hydraulic connection of cells

must be in parallel to the electrical
connection, in order to avoid 
voltage differences of more than 
1.2 V between two hydraulically
connected cells.

• The hydraulic connection must be

horizontal in order to avoid siphoning.

• The water filling circuit output must

not be too close to electrical
equipment, electrical circuit, and
metallic structure.

• Water filling circuit input must be

connected to the self closing inlet.

• Topping-up can be performed by

gravity or using adapted pump with a
flow rate of 0.7 l/min at a relative
pressure of 0.3 bar maximum.

7. Periodic maintenance

Maintenance operations (not
including the topping-up operation):

Periodic maintenance should be
carried out every two years.

• 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 that all connectors are tight. 

Coat with grease or neutral vaseline 
all terminal nuts and cell connectors.

• 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.
