4.1. Procedure before use
a) Upon receipt, remove transport
plugs from monoblocks, if any.
b) Ensure correct and seal
hydraulic interconnections.
c) Verify that electrical inter-
connection of the blocks and
the connection of the battery to
the vehicle are correct.
d) Check tightness of terminal
connecting nuts.
• Torque applied should be
as follows:
12
±
2 N.m
4.2. Commissioning cycle
and topping-up with water
a) Commissioning at constant
current charge (see table below).
b) Top-up with water, using the
centralized water filling system
30 minutes after the end of the
charge.
4. Placing into service
13
Low maintenance STM
monoblocks are delivered
filled and electrically
discharged. On receipt
and/or after a storage
period, a commissioning
cycle is required.
Do not top-up with water
prior to the first charge,
even if the electrolyte level is
underneath the minimum level
or does not show at all.
After long storage periods,
the electrolyte can be totally
absorbed by the electrodes
Individually shipped
monoblocks or batteries are
equipped with transport plugs
on the ramps or filling circuits
to avoid the loss of electrolyte
