Battery preparation:
- Remove the battery's filler protector.

- Place the electrolyte bottle upside down with
the 6 sealed zones in line with the 6 battery filler
holes.
- Press downwards to pierce the bottle's seal.
- Air bubbles must go up into the bottle.
- Tap on the bottle to help the air bubbles go up.
- Once the battery is filled with electrolyte,
remove the bottle.
- Leave the battery to stand for around half an
hour.
- Fit the strip of caps (1) over the battery's filler
holes.
Battery charge:
Once it is filled with electrolyte, a new battery is
charged up to approximately 80%.
The battery must be charged before being used
for the first time. If it is not charged in this way a
loss of 20% of its maximum nominal capacity and
30% of its life expectance will be permanent.
You must absolutely use a battery
charger provided with a charge regulator
which is suited to small capacities.
See documentation: Workshop

The battery's
current is equal to 1 tenth of its capacity.
- Charge the battery for 5 to 10 hours.
- Leave the battery to stand for around half an
hour.
Never remove the battery's strip of caps, and never add water or electrolyte into the battery.
