8.8 Semi-annually
8.8.1 Battery service
Maintenance free batteries also need care. Mainte-
nance free only means that the fluid level does not
need to be checked.
Every battery has a self-discharge, which may, if
not checked occasionally, even cause damage to
the battery as a result of exhaustive discharge.
Exhausted batteries (batteries with formation of
sulphate on the plates) are not covered under war-
ranty!
