3) Procedure for filling the battery with acid.

Position the electrolyte container upside down with
the six areas sealed in line with the six battery filler
holes. Push the container down with enough force
to break the seals. The electrolyte should start to
flow inside the battery.
Note: Do not tilt the container to prevent the flow
of electrolyte from pausing or stopping.

4) Control the flow of electrolyte

Make sure air bubbles are rising from all six filling holes. Leave the container in this position for 20
minutes or more.
Note:If there are no air bubbles coming out of the filling holes, lightly tap the bottom of the container
two or three times. Do not remove the container from the battery.
5) Take out the container.
Make sure all the electrolyte in the battery is drained. Gently tap the bottom of the container if electrolyte
remains in the container. Now, gently pull the container out from the battery, only do this when the
container is completely empty, and proceed immediately to the next point.

6) Battery closing.

Insert the airtight cover strips into the filling holes. Press horizontally with both hands and make sure
that the strip is levelled with the top part of the battery.
Note:To do this, do not use sharp objects that could damage the closing strip, use gloves to protect
your hands and do not bring your face close to the battery.
The filling process is now complete.
Do not remove the strip of caps under any circumstances, do not add water or electrolyte.
Place the battery down for 1 to 2 hours prior to the charging from the battery.

7) Recharging the new battery

With the above-mentioned procedure, the battery
will have gained around 70% - 75% of its total
electrical capacity. Before installing the battery on
the vehicle, it must be fully charged and then must
be recharged.
If the battery is to be installed on the vehicle
prior to this pre-charged one, the battery will
not be able to exceed 75% charge without jeop-
ardising its useful life on vehicle.
The dry charge battery MF like the completely loa-
ded YTX, must have a no-load voltage between
