1)- Remove the short closed tube and the caps, then pour sulphuric acid into the cells using the type
specified for batteries, with a specific gravity of 1.26, corresponding to 30° Bé, at a minimum temperature
of 15°C until the upper level is reached.
2) - Leave to rest for at least 2 hours; then, restore the level with sulphuric acid.
3)- Within the following 24 hours, recharge with the specific battery charger (single) or (multiple) at a
density of about 1/10 of the battery nominal capacity and until the acid density is about 1.27, corre-
sponding to 31º Bé, and these values are stabilised.
4) - Once the charge is over, level the acid (by adding distilled water). Close and clean carefully.
5)- Once the above operations have been performed, install the battery in the vehicle ensuring the
connections between the wiring and the battery terminals are correct.
