MAINTENANCE
BATTERY (FIG. 16)
The technological content, manufacture and materials used for
the lead-acid gas-recombination storage batteries means they
require very little maintenance. They can be considered
maintenance free provided both operating and environmental
conditions are correct.
Main rules for use
All the materials used in the lead-acid gas- recombination
storage batteries are acid resistant.
Even more so since the batteries are sealed and no acid is
able to leak out.
This means that the traditional greasing of the bare parts with
Vaseline for technical use becomes redundant. Greasing the terminai poles has a negative effect as it increases the
contact resistance between the battery and the connection. This, in turn, causes the drop in voltage to increase,
especially with very high currents, and is therefore to be avoided. The lead-acid gas-recombination storage batteries
use diluted sulphuric acid, as electrolyte, absorbed in glass microfibre felt. The amount contained in the battery is
sufficient for its entire service life.
The battery does not require topping up.
Under no circumstance must the battery be opened to check the electrolyte level and top up.
Since the lead-acid gas-recombination storage batteries do not smell, they can be charged in places frequented by
people.
