Battery charging
IMPORTANT:
• The battery charger you use must be capable
of providing the correct charging current.
Otherwise the battery may become damaged or
even explode.
• Only use a battery charger which is suitable for
the capacity of your lead-acid battery. Refer to
the instruction manual of your battery charger if you
are unsure.
IMPORTANT:
• In order for your lead-acid battery to perform as well
as possible, especially if it is not used continually,
you should use a charger with maintenance charging.
• Use a smart charger which automatically switches
to maintenance charging and which is designed to
be connected for longer periods. Such a charger
automatically detects when your battery is fully
charged.
• The best way to prolong the service life of a lead-
acid battery is to use it regularly, do not subject it to
deep discharges.
• Make sure that the contact surfaces between
the battery terminals and the terminal clamps
on the battery cables are clean. Brush off any
oxidation with a wire brush and emery cloth.
Smear the terminals with terminal grease.

Safety
• Never install or place a lead-acid battery near to
a source of heat or naked flame.
• Never place metal objects on or next to the lead-
acid battery.
• Never immerse the lead-acid battery in water or
spray it with water.
• Do not subject the lead-acid battery to heavy impacts.
• Never expose the lead-acid battery to prolonged
sunlight.
• Do not use the lead-acid battery in explosive
environments, such as near flammable liquids,
gases or dust.
• If multiple lead-acid batteries are connected in
series, they must be connected in series before they
are connected to a charger or load.
• Make sure that the cables connecting the lead-
acid battery and the charger/load are always
connected from the positive (+) on the charger/load
to the positive (+) on the lead-acid battery. Similarly,
the negative (-) connector on the charger/load must
always be connected to the negative (-) terminal on
the lead-acid battery.
• Be careful whenever moving or transporting the lead-
acid battery. Wear safety shoes, lead-acid batteries
are heavy and can do a lot of damage if dropped.
• Never lift or carry a lead-acid battery by the battery
cables.
• Make sure that any charger/load is switched
off before the lead-acid battery is connected/
disconnected.
Fitting
• Fit the lead-acid battery in such a way that air can
circulate freely around it.
• Make sure that the lead-acid battery is securely
anchored and cannot move or tip over during use.
• All connections and connection cables must be well
insulated to prevent short-circuiting.
Storage
• If the lead-acid battery is not to be used for a long
time it should be fully charged before storage and
every month it should be connected to a charger
which automatically switches to maintenance
charging.
• Store and charge the lead-acid battery in a frost-free
environment.
• A fully discharged or poorly charged lead-acid
battery can become damaged and eventually be
ruined if stored.
• A lead-acid battery which is left fully discharged or
poorly charged over the winter for example, might
work if charged ready for the summer season but
with a reduced capacity.
