1) Battery preparation

Position the battery on a flat surface. Remove the
adhesive sheet closing cells and proceed as quick-

Remove the container of the electrolyte from the
pack. Remove and preserve cover strips from the
container, in fact, the strip will later be used as a
closing cover.
Note: Do not pierce the sealing of the container or
