INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND INTERVENTION ON
BATTERIES
BATTERIES MAINTENANCE
•
All of the materials used in the lead-acid AGM batteries are resistant to the
corrosive action of the acid.
•
Lead-acid AGM batteries are virtually maintenance free if used in the proper
manner.
•
The lead-acid batteries use a diluted sulfuric acid solution that has been applied
to a micro fiberglass felt-like material for the electrolyte.
•
The battery housing is completely sealed. No leakage of battery acid is
possible.
•
The batteries should never be opened. They do not need additional fluid.
•
It is unnecessary to grease the exposed parts of the bicycle with petroleum jelly.
NOTE:
Grease on the battery terminal posts decreases contact between the
batteries and the connection cable. It also impedes the delivery of energy.
Thus, it should be avoided.
•
Simple, regular maintenance will keep the batteries in proper working order.
Battery Inspection
•
There should be no evidence of damage or cracks in the batteries.
•
The battery terminals should never have wrinkles, bumps, or burns. If there
are any present, do not use the batteries.
Battery Cleanliness
•
Sponge off the battery with warm water and a little household detergent, if
necessary.
•
Do not immerse the battery in water.
•
Do not clean the batteries with abrasives or solvents that could damage the
plastic battery housing.
•
The battery terminals should be cleaned with a copper wire brush and
appropriate tools.
