Sealed battery

If the vehicle is provided with a sealed battery, the only maintenance required is the check of its charge
and recharging, if necessary.
These operations should be carried out before delivering the vehicle, and on a six-month basis while
the vehicle is stored in open circuit.
Besides upon pre-delivery it is therefore necessary to check the battery charge and recharge it, if re-
quired, before storing the vehicle and afterwards every six months.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RENEWAL RECHARGE AFTER OPEN-CIRCUIT STORAGE
1) Voltage check up
Before installing the battery on the vehicle, check the open circuit voltage with a normal tester.
- If voltage exceeds 12.60 V, the battery can be installed without any renewal recharge.
- If voltage is below 12.60 V, a renewal recharge is required as explained in 2).
2) Constant voltage battery charge mode
- Constant voltage charge equal to 14.40 ÷ 14.70V
-Initial charge voltage equal to 0.3 ÷ 0.5 for nominal Capacity
- Charge time:
10 to 12 h recommended
Minimum 6 h
Maximum 24 h
3) Constant current battery charge mode
