Electrical system
Commissioning dry-charged batteries :
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 Be at a minimum tem-
perature 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 using
the specific battery charger (single) or (multiple) at
a density of about 1/10 of the battery nominal ca-
pacity until fully charged; check that the acid den-
sity is about 27, corresponding to 31 Be, and that
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 per-
formed, install the battery on the vehicle ensuring
that it is wired up properly.
