Putting a new battery
into service
1
Unscrew the
plugs
and introduce pure sul-
phuric
acid
for
batteries with a
specific
gravity
1,28
kg
/
I
(1,23 kg
/
I in tropical
c
lim
ates)
and
temperature
+
20°C
until
the
minimum
level
mark
on the battery is
reached
.
At introduction
,
acid
temperature
must not be
lower than
+
10°
C.
Do
not
use
metal
funnels.
2
Let
the battery at
rest
for
about one
hour,
then top up to the recommended level by adding
sulphuric
acid
.
Charge
now
the battery for 15
hours
in c. c. -
Amp
.
1
,1.
Start charging only
when
temperature is lower than
+
40'
C
(+
50°
C
in tropical
climates)
.
To
charge
battery
connect
positi
ve
pole (+)
of
battery
to
positive pole
(+)
of
supp
lier
;
same
connection for negative poles
(-).
During
charging, the
temperature
of sulphuric
acid
must not be higher
than
+
45'
C
(+
55°
C in
tropical
climates)
;
otherwise stop charging or
reduce current.
The
initial charge
will be
accomplished
when
acid density
and current
intensity
rates will
re-
main
the same for at least
two
consecutive hours
of charging.
At this point specific gravity of acid
will
have to
be 1,28
kg
/
I
±
0,01
(1,23
kg
/
I
±
0,01 in tropi cal
climates)
at
+
20°
C.
It is
to be
considered
that the specific gravity
of
acid
varies
0,01 for each ,temperature
cha
nge
of
14
c
C
;
this means that the specific gravity of
an
acid at
+
34°
C will have
to be increased of
0,01
to obtain
the
specific gravity at
+
20
C
C.
Two
hours
after
the charge end check the acid
level, if necessary top
up with
distilled
water,
then
screw in the
filling caps.
The
battery
is now
ready to be in
service.
Maintenance
Check period ically the
electrolyte level, add only
distilled water whenever necessary. Check that
all battery connections are well tight
and clean,
smear them with neuter vaseline.
