Oerlikon ® Evolution batteries are valve-regulated, maintenance free batteries. Unlike conventional batteries with liquid electrolyte
they have immobilised electrolyte (gelled sulphuric acid). Instead of a vent plug, a valve is used to regulate the internal gas
pressure, preventing the ingress of oxygen from the air and allowing the escape of excess charging gasses. When operating
valve-regulated lead-acid batteries the same safety requirements as for vented cells apply, to protect against hazards from
electric current, from explosion of electrolytic gas and – with some limitations – from the corrosive electrolyte.
Oerlikon Evolution battery valves should never be removed. These batteries do not require topping-up with distilled or
demineralized water.
• Pay attention to the operating instructions
and keep them close to the battery.
Work on batteries should be carried out
by skilled personnel only!
• Use protective glasses and clothes when
working on batteries. Pay attention to
the accident prevention rules as well as
EN 50272-3 and EN 50110-1.
• No smoking! Do not expose batteries to
naked flames, glowing embers or sparks,
as it may cause the battery to explode.
• Acid splashes into the eyes or on the skin
must be washed with plenty of water. In
case of accident after abundant flushing
consult a doctor immediately!
Clothing contaminated by acid should be
washed in water.
• Risk of explosion and fire, avoid short
circuits! Caution: metal parts of the
battery are always live. Do not place tools
or other metal objects on the battery!
Do not remove the plugs.
Ignoring the operating instructions, repair with non-original parts, disconnection of the Oerlikon easycontrol will render the
warranty void. All the failures, malfunctions or defaults of the battery, the charger or any other accessories, must be
notified to our After Sales Service.

1. Electronic devices

The type of device required must be specified at the time of
ordering the battery from the factory.
Please follow the table:

We encourage to use an electronic device (according the table
as above) on all Evolution batteries to make sure that the
batteries are properly used and to be able to assist with
potential warranty claims.

• Electrolyte is highly corrosive.
In the normal operation of this battery
contact with acid isn't possible. If the cell
containers are damaged, the immobilised
electrolyte (gelled sulphuric acid) is corro-
sive like liquid electrolyte.
• Batteries and cells are heavy. Ensure
secure installation! Use only suitable
handling equipment. Lifting hooks must
not damage the cells, connectors or
cables.
• Dangerous electrical voltage!
• Pay attention to the hazards that can be
caused by batteries.

2. Commissioning

The battery should be inspected to ensure it is in perfect
physical condition. Use special coding systems for mainten-
ance free batteries for the charging plug-and-socket
devices to prevent accidental connection to a wrong type of
charger. The battery end cables must have a good contact to
terminals, check that the polarity is correct. Otherwise battery,
vehicle or charger could be damaged. The specific torque
loading for the bolts of the charger cables and connectors are:
M10 perfect connector
Never directly connect an electrical appliance (for example:
warning beacon) to some cells of the battery. This could lead
to an imbalance of the cells during the recharge, i.e. a loss
of capacity, the risk of insufficient discharge time, damage
to the cells and this may EFFECT THE WARRANTY OF THE
BATTERY.
Charge before use.
