Battery - Stanley SRP 6570 User Manual

Read the instructions on
the battery.
Wear eye protection
during all operations.
Keep children away from
acid, batteries, and
chargers.
Explosion hazard :
While charging batteries, a
highly explosive oxyhydro-
gen mixture develops, there-
fore: Take precautions
7.0.1 Storage and transport
• Unfilled batteries do not require any maintenance.
• Always store wet charged batteries in a cool place (but not
in a refrigerator or freezer).
• Regularly check the state of charge or use charge
maintaining devices.
• Recharge wet charged batteries at an acid density of 1.21
kg/l or 12.3 V open circuit voltage or after request for
charge by the optical state of charge indicator at the latest
(see point 7.0.4).
• Wet charged batteries are to be transported and stored
up- right, protected against tipping over, and protected
against short-circuit, since acid may escape otherwise.
7.0.2 Commissioning
• Regard safety regulations.
• Wet charged delivered batteries are ready for use. Only
install sufficiently charged batteries, minimum 12.50 V
open circuit voltage.
• Remove sealing plugs. Fill the individual cells of the bat
tery with sulphuric acid according to DIN IEC60933-1 of
density 1.28 kg/l up to the maximum acid level.
• Allow battery to stand for 15 minutes, tilt slightly several
times, and refill acid if necessary.
• Tightly screw in or press in the sealing plugs.
• Wipe off any acid splashes.

BATTERY

Fire, sparks, open light, and
smoking forbidden!
• Avoid spark creation when
operating with cables and
electric devices!
• Avoid short-circuits!
• Avoid electro-static
discharges.
Corrosive hazard
Battery acid is highly corrosive,
therefore:
• Wear protective gloves and
eye protection during all
operations on the battery.
• Do not tilt battery, acid may
leak from the openings.
First aid
• Rinse out acid splashed in
the eyes immediately for
several minutes with clear
water. Then consult a doctor
immediately.
• Neutralize acid splashes on
skin or clothing immediately
with acid neutralizer (soda) or
soap suds and rinse with
plenty of water.
• If acid has been drank,
immediately consult a doctor!
• In case the battery does not show a sufficient starting
performance due to too low temperature or unfavourable
storage conditions, the battery needs to be recharged
(see point 7.0.4).
7.0.3 Installation in and removal
• Prior to removing the battery, switch off the engine and all electric
consumers.
• When removing the battery, first disconnect the negative
terminal (-), then disconnect the positive terminal (+).
• Clean battery terminal and terminal clamps and treat them with
acid-free grease.
• Clamp battery tightly (use original fastening).
• Only remove the protection cover from the positive terminal in
the vehicle when connecting the battery and place it on the
terminal of the replaced battery in order to avoid short-circuits
and spark creation.
• When installing the battery, first connect the positive terminal
(+), then connect the negative terminal (-).
• Assure the terminal clamps are tight.
• Use accessories such as terminal covers, elbow piece,
tube connection, closing plugs and terminal clamp holders
(where available) from the replaced battery and connect them
the same way.
• Keep at least one degassing opening unclosed, otherwise
explosion hazard (this also concerns the return transport of the
old battery).
Warning note
• Do not place batteries in direct
sunlight without protection.
• Discharged batteries can freeze
up (freezing point of acid of fully
charged battery -70°C, at 50%
state of charge
Disposal
• Hand in old batteries at a
collection point.
• The notes listed under point
7.0.1 are to be followed during
transport.
• Never dispose of old batteries
as domestic waste!
• Transport damaged batteries in
suitable containers (acid
leakage).
