Filling cells
1. Remove the air-tight plugs with the special tool.
3. Raising the electrolyte drum to a
level above the cell will significantly
reduce the filling time.
4.
Putting cells into service
Before removing the air-tight plugs for filling the cells, please ensure that the battery charger is ready for use.
Cells should be stored as received and should only be activated (i.e. filled with electrolyte and charged) when
installed.
2. Fit the manual filler pump to the acid drum.
Please ensure that the pump is screwed
tightly into the plastic drum. The specific
gravity of the filling acid (at 20
º
C) is 1.280.
4. Let the cells rest for 2 to 4 hours after filling.
7. Unscrew the terminal protectors.
Avoid all short circuits between
terminals of opposite polarities.
6. Place the standard vent plugs on the cells.
Do not tighten them at this stage to avoid
over-pressuring cells during the charge.
Check the polarity with a voltmeter.
At this point, the specific gravity will have
reduced.
Electrolyte Temperature
30°C (86°F)
35°C (95°F)
40°C (104°F)
40°C (104°F)
9. After two to four hours, start the charge (see ‘‘Initial
charge’’ section) providing the maximum temperature
of the electrolyte is as per the table below.
10. When the charge is complete, tighten the standard vent
plugs properly. The final specific gravity after charging
must be 1.235 - 1.240 at 20
º
C (maximum level).
8. Fit inter-cell connectors.
Torque them to 25Nm.
Room Temperature
20°C (68°F)
30°C (86°F)
35°C (95°F)
40°C (104°F)
5. Once plates and separators have absorbed the electrolyte, re-adjust, if necessary, the filling level back to maximum.
The charge must be started within 12 hours of the initial fill.
