BATTERY MAINTAINANCE
DO NOT overfill batteries. The charging cycle will expel electrolyte and result in component
damage.
CAUTION
Deep-cycle ooded/wet batteries need to be watered periodically. The frequency depends on
battery usage, charging and operating temperature. Check new batteries every few weeks to
determine the watering frequency for your application. It is normal for batteries to need more
watering as they age.
1. Use only distilled or deionized water. Tap water can contain contaminants that will damage
the battery. Also, be aware that water can pick up impurities from containers, piping.
2. Fully charge the batteries prior to adding water. Only add water to discharged or partially
charged batteries if the plates are exposed. In this case, add just enough water to cover the
plates and then charge the batteries. Once completed, continue with the watering procedure
below.
3. Check the electrolyte levels by removing the vent caps and placing them upside down so
that dirt does not accumulate on the underside of the cap.
4. If the electrolyte level is barely covering the plates, add distilled or deionized water to the
proper level as illustrated. î After adding water, secure vent caps back onto
batteries。
The electrolyte in a storage battery is an acid solution which can cause severe burns to the skin
and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to the body and eyes with extended flushing with clear water.
Contact a physician immediately.
Always wear a safety shield or approved safety goggles when adding water or charging batteries.
Always wear gloves to protect person form acid corrosion
Always remember to take precautions while conduct any operations on batteries or handle battery.
WARNING
Watering the batteries(For lead acid battery only)
Clean the batteries (Both for lead-acid and lithium battery)
Check the battery for cleanliness at regular intervals and keep terminals and connectors free of
corrosion. Terminal corrosion may adversely affect the performance of the battery and present a
safety hazard.
1. For flooded batteries, check that all vent caps are secured properly on the battery.
2. Clean the top of the battery, terminals, and connections with a cloth or non-metallic brush, and a
solution of baking soda and water comprised of 1 cup of baking soda to 1 gallon of water
(60 ml of baking soda per liter of water). Do not allow cleaning solution to get inside the battery.
3. Rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth.
4. Apply a thin coat of terminal protector spray which can be purchased through your local battery
dealer.
5. Keep the area around batteries clean and dry.
