Dry-charge battery
- Remove the battery air pipe cap and each single cell caps.
- Fill the battery with electrolyte of 1.270+/-0.01 kg/l density (corresponding to 31+/-1 Bé) with an am-
bient temperature not below 15°C, until it reaches the upper level indicated on the block.
- Incline the battery slightly to remove any air bubbles formed during filling.
- Place the caps on each single element filling holes without screwing them and leave the battery to
rest. During this stage, the battery is subjected to a gasification phenomenon and temperature increa-
ses.
- Let it rest until it reaches ambient temperature (this stage can take up to 60 minutes).
- Tilt the battery slightly to facilitate the elimination of any gas bubbles present inside; restore the level
using the same filling electrolyte
N.B.
THIS IS THE LAST TIME THAT ELECTROLYTE CAN BE ADDED. FUTURE TOP-UPS SHOULD BE
DONE ONLY WITH DISTILLED WATER.
Within 24 hours recharge the battery following these steps:
- Connect the battery charger terminals observing the correct polarity;
- Wit the battery charger drw. 020333Y and/or drw. 020334Y operate the battery charger control by
selecting the position corresponding to that capacity;
- Otherwise, charge the battery with direct current equal to 1/10 of rated capacity (e.g. for a battery with
a 9Ah rated capacity, the charging current should be 0.9-1.0A) for approximately a 4-6 hour charge.
N.B.
BATTERIES THAT HAVE BEEN STORED FOR A LONG TIME CAN TAKE A LONGER CHARGING
TIME. BATTERY CHARGERS DRW. 020333Y AND DRW. 020334Y HAVE AN AUTOMATIC PRO-
TECTION WHICH INTERRUPTS THE RECHARGE AFTER 12 HOURS TO AVOID BATTERY HARM-
FUL HEATING. IN THIS CASE, THE ACTIVATION OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM AND NOT A GREEN
LED ON INDICATES THE END OF THE CHARGE.
Let the open circuit battery rest for approximately 4-6 hours; then check the off-load voltage using a
standard tester.
- If the open-circuit voltage is higher or equal to 12.6V, the battery is charged adequately. Slightly shake
or tilt the battery to eliminate any air bubbles created during recharging.
- Check the electrolyte levels again, fill them with distilled water up to the upper level line if necessary,
clean battery properly, close each single cell cap tightly and install it on the vehicle.
- If the voltage indicated is low, charge the battery another 4-6 hours in the way described above.
N.B.
WITH BATTERY CHARGER DRW. 020334Y, THE BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL CAN BE CHECKED
WITH THE "CHECK" FUNCTION. THE VALUE INDICATED ON THE DISPLAY MUST BE HIGHER
THAN THE VALUE INDICATED IN THE TABLE; OTHERWISE RECHARGE THE BATTERY AGAIN
IN THE SAME WAY INDICATED ABOVE.
