The electrolyte level must be checked frequently and must reach the upper level. Only use distilled
water, to restore this level. If it is necessary to add water too frequently, check the vehicle electrical
system: the battery works overcharged and is subject to quick wear.
2)Load status check
After restoring the electrolyte level, check its density using an appropriate densitometer (see the figure).
When the battery is charged, you should detect a density of 30 to 32 Bé corresponding to a specific
weight of 1.26 to 1.28 at a temperature of no lower than 15° C.
A density reading of less than 20° Bé indicates that the battery is completely flat and it must therefore
be recharged.
If the scooter is not used for a given time (1 month or more) it will be necessary to periodically recharge
the battery.
The battery runs down completely in the course of three months. If it is necessary to refit the battery in
the vehicle, be careful not to reverse the connections, remembering that the ground wire (
black
) marked
(-) must be connected to the
-negative
clamp while the other two
red
wires marked (+) must be con-
nected to the clamp marked with the
+positive
sign.
3) Recharging the battery
Remove the battery from the vehicle removing the negative clamp first.
Regular bench charging must be carried out with the specific battery charger, (single) or (multiple),
setting the battery charger selector to the type of battery to be recharged. Connections to the power
supply source must be implemented by connecting the corresponding poles (+ to+ and - to -).
4) Battery cleaning
The battery should always be kept clean, especially on its top side, and the terminals should be coated
with Vaseline.
WARNING
BEFORE RECHARGING THE BATTERY, REMOVE THE PLUGS OF EACH CELL. KEEP SPARKS
AND NAKED FLAMES AWAY FROM THE BATTERY WHILE RECHARGING.
CAUTION
NEVER USE FUSES WITH A CAPACITY HIGHER THAN THE RECOMMENDED CAPACITY. USING
A FUSE OF UNSUITABLE RATING MAY SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE VEHICLE OR EVEN CAUSE
A FIRE.
CAUTION
ORDINARY AND DRINKING WATER CONTAINS MINERAL SALTS THAT ARE HARMFUL FOR
THE BATTERY. FOR THIS REASON, YOU MUST ONLY USE DISTILLED WATER.
CAUTION
TO ENSURE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE THE BATTERY MUST BE CHARGED BEFORE USE.
INADEQUATE CHARGING OF THE BATTERY WITH A LOW ELECTROLYTE LEVEL BEFORE IT
IS FIRST USED SHORTENS THE LIFE OF THE BATTERY.
