15. Care of the battery
The battery should always be kept clean and dry to prevent
tracking currents : wipe over the tops and sides of the cells
and container with a damp cloth to remove dust, water.. Any
liquid in the battery tray must be extracted and disposed of in
the prescribed manner. Damage to the insulation of the tray
should be repaired after cleaning, to ensure that the insulation
value complies with EN 62485-3 and to prevent tray corrosion.
If it is necessary to remove cells it is best to call in our service
department for this.
16. Storage
If batteries are taken out of service for a lengthy period they
should be stored, disconnected from the truck, in the fully
charged condition in a dry, frost-free room. Batteries shall be
recharged after a maximum storage time of :
• 2 months at 30°C
• 3 months at 20°C
Effect a recharge before putting the battery into service. A
monthly refreshing charge is recommended. The storage
time should be taken into account when considering the life
of the battery. Never leave a battery connected to a truck for
a long time. Storage at open circuit is not allowed when in
discharged state.
17. Malfunctions
If malfunctions are found on the battery or the charger our
service department should be called in without delay. The
measurements taken in point III (6) will facilitate fault finding
and their elimination. A service contract with us will make it
easier to detect and correct faults in good time.
