AH54.10-P-0001-01A Notes On Battery


General information on batteries
- Do not store batteries over a longer period at a storage point with direct solar radiation.
- Discharged or defective batteries can freeze, therefore store free from frost.
- Avoid polarity reversal and short-circuits.
- Do not place tool or other conducting objects on the battery (risk of short-circuit).
- Before removal and installation of batteries all switchable current consumers should be switched off, as well as the engine switched off so that inadvertent arcing is ruled out.
- Always disconnect the negative terminal first and always connect the positive terminal first .
- Only charge batteries with DC, 10 % of the capacity is recommended as charging current for slow charging and 50 % of the capacity recommended for fast charging.
- Only switch on the charger after connecting to the terminals and switch off before disconnecting.
- We recommend greasing the batteries slightly with battery terminal grease.
- If the battery is to remain in the parked vehicle for a longer time, the negative terminal should be disconnected.
- If possible batteries should be kept clean and dry.
- Batteries should not be stored over a longer period without recharging.

Notes on lead-gel batteries (additional battery for special bodies)
- Lead-gel batteries are free from gassing, acid does not run out of them and are completely independent of position and maintenance free.
- When fast charging ensure that the housing of the lead-gel battery does not heat up excessively otherwise a pressure relief valve will be opened and the lead-gel battery will be defective.

Notes on lead acid batteries
- Always store lead lead-acid batteries horizontally to prevent acid leaking out and do not tilt during transportation.
- When fast charging ensure that the housing of the lead-acid battery does not heat up excessively.
