1.2.1 Pre-use Checks
Check if the battery status is normal and also check for mechanical failures;
Connect the battery connectors, make sure the contact is solid, the electrodes are connected
properly, otherwise may cause damage to the battery, truck or charger;
Check if the electrode bolt of each battery interface is tightened;
Check electrolyte uid level. It must be ensured that the electrolyte level is higher than the upper
edge of overow outlet or separator;
Charge the battery according to the instructions on the operation manual;
Rell the electrolyte with distilled water to make the electrolyte level reach standard level.
1.2 Use of Battery
1.2.2 Discharging
Do not close or cover the ventilation openings with objects;
When connecting or disconnecting the battery connector (such as, plug), the power supply must be
disconnected rst;
In order to meet or exceed the rated batt-ery service life, the battery should avoid excessive
discharge during runtime (capacity less than 20% of the rated capacity);
Re-charge the battery immediately after discharging without delay.
1.2.3 Charging
When charging, only DC can be used. Connect the battery with proper charger for specication
and size to avoid overload of circuit and interface, and to avoid electrolyte foaming or overow from
the cell;
The charger purchased separately must be checked by the after-sales service department of our
company before it can be used;
When connecting the battery with the charger, the circuit switch should be at “OFF” position, make
sure the connection is correct. It is prohibited to connect the battery with live charger.
Before battery charging, make sure the electrolyte temperature is within the range of
10 ° C~ 45 ° C;
When charging, the cover or cover plate of the battery compartment must be opened or removed
to ensure that the gas generated during charging can be smoothly discharged.
When the concentration of the electrolyte and battery voltage remain constant (for more than 2
hours), it indicates that the charging is completed.
