Traction Batteries (LA)
1. Initial Checking-
Check the battery to ensure that it is in perfect mechanical condition. All
screwed unions within the circuit must be tightened to ensure reliable
contacts. Machine cables and charging cable are to be connected to the
correct poles of the battery otherwise battery and charger can be damaged.
2. Discharging-
Ventilation openings may not be covered or closed. Electric connections (e.g-
plugs) may be connected or disconnected only when the machine is in off
condition. Discharge batteries must be recharged immediately and may not
remain in discharged condition. This also applies to only partially discharged
batteries.
The battery may only be connected up to the allocated battery charger
certified for the particular battery size, to avoid overload on the electric
current Maintenance Free Batteries have low gassing properties but are not
completely free of gassing. The battery is to be connected with the correct
poles (plus to plus and minus to minus) to the disconnected battery charger.
The battery charger should then be switched on.
During the recharging procedure, the temperature in the battery
increases by approx. 10 °C. For this reason, the recharging
procedure may not be started unless the temperature is below 35
°C.
Before recharging the battery, the temperature should be at least 15 °C,
otherwise the battery will not be correctly.
If the temperatures are constantly greater than 40 °C or lower than 15 °C,
temperature-dependent constant voltage regulation of the battery charger
will be necessary.
3. Temperature-
The battery temperature of 30 °C is rated temperature. Higher temperatures
shorten the service life and lower temperatures reduce available capacity. 45
°C (51 °C for AGM) is the limit temperature and is not tolerable as operating
temperature.
4. Electrolyte-
The electrolyte is sulphuric acid. The density of the electrolyte cannot be
measured. Use the recommended electrolyte to top up.
5. Maintenance-
Daily maintenance- Recharge the battery every time it has been discharged.
Weekly maintenance- Visual inspection after recharging for signs of dirt and
mechanical damage.
Maintenance to be carried out every three months
After fully recharging and following a standing period of at least 5 hours, the
following must be measured and Recorded: – total voltage / – individual
voltage
If noticeable changes are detected compared to previous measurements, or
differences between the cells or block batteries, the customer service should
be called for testing or repair.
- Risk of fire explosion, avoid short circuits!
-
Caution!
Metal components in the battery cells are always under
voltage, never place any foreign items or tools on the battery!
6. Care-
The battery must be kept clean and dry to prevent creeping current. Any liquid
in the battery container must be extracted and disposed of according to
regulations.
