Battery Instructions

This  system  will  accommodate  both  PHCC  Pro
Series  B-2200  wet  cell  as  well  as  the  B12-90
maintenance free (AGM) batteries.  To double the
runtime of the backup system, two of the same
model batteries can be connected together. The
batteries  should  be  of  similar  age.    Connecting
an old and new battery together will not charge
properly. Specific connection instructions will be
explained on page 10.

• The use of automotive batteries is NOT

recommended. Automotive batteries are
not designed for this application. They will
only run the pump for a short time and will
have a shorter life than a standby battery.

• The battery fluid sensor is designed to fit

the  Pro  Series  Standby  batteries.
Measuring  the  battery  fluid  is  one  of  the
most  important  features  of  the  system,
since  about  80%  of  backup  sump  pump
failures are the result of a battery that has
dried out.

• The internal construction of some wet cell

batteries may not be compatible with this
system. Glentronics can not guarantee the
compatibility of other brands of batteries.
The use of a PHCC Pro Series B-2200 or
B12-90 battery is HIGHLY recommended.

DO NOT insert the fluid sensor into any
battery except a Pro Series Standby battery.
DO NOT drill a hole in another brand of
battery to accommodate the fluid sensor.
DO NOT use the enclosed battery cap on any
battery except a Pro Series battery. DO NOT
drill a hole in the cap of another brand of
battery to accommodate the fluid sensor.
Batteries emit explosive gases which can
cause serious injury or death.

PREPARING THE PRO SERIES

STANDBY BATTERY

The Pro Series Standby batteries are shipped dry
(without acid) so they never lose power before

you  take  them  home.    A  battery  is  activated
when  the  acid  is  added,  and  then  it  slowly
begins to deteriorate as it ages.  By adding the
acid just before use, the battery will always be
fresh.  Use 1.265 specific gravity battery acid to
fill  the  battery.    It  is  available  where  you
purchased the battery.

Contains sulfuric acid.  Wear eye and
clothing protection.  If battery acid contacts
skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water.  If acid enters eyes, flush
with water for 15 minutes, and get prompt
medical attention.  Review the safety
instructions on page 1.

PRO SERIES BATTERIES COME IN TWO
CONFIGURATIONS.  THE TOPS OF THE BATTERIES
LOOK DIFFERENT, AND THE DIRECTIONS FOR
FILLING THE BATTERIES AND CONNECTING THE
FLUID SENSOR WILL VARY SLIGHTLY.  IF THE TOP
OF YOUR BATTERY LOOKS LIKE PHOTO A, FOLLOW
THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THIS PAGE.  IF THE TOP
OF YOUR BATTERY LOOKS LIKE PHOTO B ON PAGE
9, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 9.

TO FILL THE BATTERY

1. Remove the cover of the battery box by

pushing in the tabs on the front and back of
the box and lifting up.

2. Place the battery box on the floor. Place the

dry (unfilled) battery into the battery box.
Remove the foil seal on the top of the battery.

3. Carefully push in the perforated tab at the top

of the acid pack. Lift up the large tab and
pull out the dispensing hose. Hold the hose
upright above the pack and squeeze the hose
forcing all the acid back into the pack.

4. Position the acid pack and battery as shown

at  the  right.    Pinch  the  end  of  the  hose
together and cut off the tip.  Insert the end
of the hose into each cell.  Control the flow
by  pinching  the  hose  with  thumb  and
forefinger.

Fill each cell of the battery to a

level  just  covering  the  battery  plates,  and
then go back and top off each cell equally.
It  is  important  to  have  all  the  cells  filled
equally or  the  battery  will  not  operate
properly.

The acid should reach a level about

¼”  below  the  cap  ring  as  shown  in  the
diagram  below.    DO  NOT  OVERFILL  THE
BATTERY.  (Diagram E)

A  newly  filled  battery  will  sometimes  require
additional  acid  after  about  20  minutes.    Re-
examine the fill level, and add additional acid if
necessary.    The  battery  acid  may  bubble  at  this
time and give off a sulfur-like smell, but this is
normal.  After the battery has been filled, screw
the six (6) caps securely on the top of the battery.

The battery will be charged 70-80% 30 minutes
after adding the acid. The system will then
finish charging the battery. During this time the
alarm may sound.

When you fill the battery for the FIRST time,
it will be the ONLY time you add acid to the
battery. In the future, when the fluid level is
low, add distilled water to the cells. NEVER
add more acid.

This  backup  system  will  also  accommodate  a
maintenance-free  battery,  eliminating  the  need
to fill the battery.  Slide the switch on the front
of  the  controller  panel  to  the  type  of  battery
being used with the system.  The fluid sensor is
not  needed  when  using  maintenance-free
batteries.  However, you

MUST

attach the fluid

sensor to the positive post of the battery to
silence the fluid alarm.
