ATTERIES
Flooded batteries need to be watered periodically. The frequency depends upton
battery usage and operating temperature. Check new batteries every few weeks to
determine the watering frequency for your application. It is normal for batteries to
need more watering as they age.
Fully charge the batteries prior to adding water. Only add water to discharged
or partially charged batteries if the plates are exposed. In this case, add just
enough water to cover the plates and then charge the batteries and continue
with the watering procedures below.
Remove the vent caps and place them upside down so that dirt does not get on
the underside of the cap for batteries, simply flip open the cap. Check the
electrolyte level.
If the electrolyte level is well above the plates, then it is not necessary to add
more water.
If the electrolyte level is barely covering the plates, add distilled or de‐ionized
water to a level 1/8" (3mm) below the vent well (this is the plastic shield inside
the vent hole) for standard batteries and to the maximum (MAX) level indicator
for PLUS Series batteries.
After adding water, secure vent cap back on batteries.
