Sealed battery
If the vehicle is provided with a sealed battery, the only maintenance required is the check of its charge
and recharging, if necessary.
These operations should be carried out before delivering the vehicle, and on a six-month basis while
the vehicle is stored in open circuit.
Besides, upon pre-delivery it is therefore necessary to check the battery charge and recharge it, if
required, before storing the vehicle and, afterwards, every six months.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BATTERY REFRESH AFTER OPEN-CIRCUIT STORAGE
1) Voltage check
Before installing the battery on the vehicle, check the open circuit voltage with a regular tester.
- If voltage exceeds 12.60 V, the battery can be installed without any renewal recharge.
- If voltage is below 12.60 V, a renewal recharge is required as explained in 2).
2) Constant voltage battery charge mode
- Constant voltage charge equal to 14.40 ÷ 14.70V
- Initial charge voltage equal to 0.3 ÷ 0.5 for Nominal capacity
- Charge time:
10 to 12 h recommended
Minimum 6 h
Maximum 24 h
3) Constant current battery charge mode
- Charge current equal to 1/10 of the nominal capacity of the battery
- Charge time: 5 h
CAUTION
NEVER USE FUSES WITH A CAPACITY HIGHER THAN THE RECOMMENDED CAPACITY. USING
A FUSE OF UNSUITABLE RATING MAY SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE VEHICLE OR EVEN CAUSE
A FIRE.
CHARGE THE BATTERY BEFORE USE TO ENSURE OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE. INADEQUATE
CHARGING OF THE BATTERY WITH A LOW ELECTROLYTE LEVEL BEFORE IT IS FIRST USED
SHORTENS THE LIFE OF THE BATTERY.
IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT USED FOR SOME TIME (1 MONTH OR MORE) THE BATTERY NEEDS
TO BE RECHARGED PERIODICALLY. THE BATTERY RUNS DOWN COMPLETELY IN THE
COURSE OF THREE MONTHS. IF IT IS NECESSARY TO REFIT THE BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE,
BE CAREFUL NOT TO REVERSE THE CONNECTIONS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THAT THE
GROUND WIRE (BLACK) MARKED(-) MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE - NEGATIVE TERMINAL
