I. Repairs, Storage, and Service Tips
The internal parts of the battery have been designed to wear at approximately the same rate,
making it uneconomical to replace any of the parts with new ones. Replacing the entire battery is
simpler and cheaper.
Before storing the battery, it should be properly charged, the vent plugs put tightly in place, and the
leads disconnected to prevent use during idle periods. The battery should be charged at intervals
during the idle period. Before returning the battery to service, it should be thoroughly charged. The
battery will be sufficiently charged when, after a 3-hour period, the specific gravity does not rise any
higher with the electrolyte gassing and a charging rate of 1-1/2 amperes.
Long battery life and trouble-free service is obtained from the battery if the following simple tips are
observed:
(1) Keep it clean.
(2) Keep it charged.
(3) Maintain proper electrolyte levels.
(4) Keep specific gravity equal among all cells.
J. Installing New Dry-Charged Battery
CAUTION: PRIOR TO INSTALLING A NEW DRY-CHARGED BATTERY, FOLLOW THE
PREPARATION INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FURNISHED WITH THE BATTERY
BY TELEDYNE.
The Teledyne, dry-charged, Model GILL/G-243 Battery shall be stored as received from Teledyne.
Do not remove vent seals, add acid, nor attempt to charge a dry-charged battery until ready to
install the battery into an airplane.
