BATTERY MAINTENANCE
CONTROL AND FILLING UP OF THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL:
Periodically check the level of the battery electrolyte; if it is necessary, execute the filling
up only with demineralised water according to the norms CEI21-5 fascicle 255 taking
into account that:
1) It is absolutely prohibited to make the filling up with sulphuric acid
2) The filling up operation should be executed only after a full charging operation
complete of the equalization phase: a filling up with discharged battery could bring,
at the moment of loading, at leaks of electrolyte.
3) The level should remain only a little over the plate with holes for avoiding sprinkling ;
it is preferred have it a little less in order to avoid leakage of electrolyte with
consequent corrosion of the battery space and of the metallic parts.
4) The corks of the battery should be fixed with care avoiding the contamination of the
electrolyte.
5) It is absolutely forbidden to use water containing chloride, calcium, iron or other
impurities.
CONTROL OF THE ELECTROLYTE DENSITY
To maintain in good conditions the battery it is necessary, every time when distilled
water is added, to verify the density of the acid in the electrolyte liquid.
This control will be executed after a complete load of equalization process and after
letting to pass the time needed for the homogenisation of the solution in the interior of
the element.
After a complete reloading, the density of the acid measured at 30ºC (electrolyte
temperature) should be 1,260 kg/dm3, if the value is more than this; it is opportune to
dilute the electrolyte adding demineralised water.
The density of the electrolyte should be increased by 0,0007 for each degree more than
30ºC; diminished by 0,0007 for each degree under it.
Example:
Indication of density at 45ºC : 1,250; correction (45ºC - 30ºC) x 0,0007 = 0,0105; the
effective value of the density is 1,250 + 0,0105 = 1,2605.
As reference if the density is comprised between 1,260 and 1,20 kg/dm3 the battery
should be deemed as partially discharged; if the density is less than 1,140 kg/dm3,
the battery is completely unloaded.
If, after a complete reloading, the acid density results less than 1,20 kg/dm3, the
battery should be deemed as exhausted and so REPLACED.
In every case is prohibited to add electrolyte liquid to the sulphuric acid.
INACTIVE OR IN DISCONTINUOUS SERVICE BATTERIES
During the periods of inactivity the batteries are discharged spontaneously (self
discharge); the self discharge provokes a sulphation of the poles with a progressive
degeneration of the capacity and efficiency of battery.
If the battery is not used continuously or remains inactive for long periods, submit them
at a refreshing loading at least once a month, this is advisable even if the measurement
of the electrolyte density shows high values. In every case, before to put again in service
a car which remained for a long period of time inactive, execute a complete reloading of
the equalization process, a precise control of the electrolyte density and, if it is
necessary , a filling up with distilled water.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
CONTROL OF THE FASTENING SYSTEM OF THE BATTERY:
It is important periodically to control in the battery space that:
1) the fastening screws of the battery (1) are not loose: in this case tighten them to the
bottom to avoid that batteries are blocked in their space
.
2) that in the areas next to the fastening screws are not traces of metal alterations, in
this case proceed as follows:
1. disconnect the socket at the interior of battery space (1)
2. dismantle the flange supporting the socket pushing on the two fastening screws
3. take out the battery removing the screws shown in figure (2)
4. carefully clean and eliminate the dirt from the corroded area;
5. paint again with anti-acid paint;
6. install again the battery and the flange supporting the socket fastening tight with the
screws
7. connect the back.
DANGER!
IT IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT THAT THE
BATTERY IS SOLIDLY FIXED IN THE BATTERY SPACE: A

CLEANING OPERATION
1) The cleaning operations should not be executed with easy inflammable liquids or with
tools from metals able to ruin the stacker body.
2) During the cleaning operations, all the electric parts should be covered in order to
avoid corrosion of contacts and short-circuits.
3) It is prohibited to execute the cleaning with water under pressure or with vapor
4) Before use the stacker, check if there are not water stains and that all the circuits are
dried up.
