Low-maintenance batteries (wet batteries)
DANGER
Refilling discharged batteries with water
Danger of acid burns from escaping acid, destruction of
clothing
Wear safety goggles when handling the batteries.
Observe the applicable regulations.
Immediately rinse off any splashed acid from the skin or
clothing using copious amounts of water.
ATTENTION
Using water with additives
Defective batteries, loss of warranty eligibility
Top up the batteries using only distilled or desalinated
water (EN 50272-T3).
Do not use any foreign additives, so-called enhancing
agents, because this will invalidate the warranty.
1. Add distilled water one hour before the charging
process comes to an end. Observe the correct acid
level according to the battery label.
All cells must produce gas at the end of the charging
process.
Maintenance-free batteries (AGM and gel batteries)
ATTENTION
Risk of damage when opening AGM and gel batter-
ies!
AGM and gel batteries are maintenance-free and have
a closed battery housing. Refilling them with distilled
water or battery acid is not possible and is not neces-
sary. Opening or drilling the battery housing will damage
an AGM or gel battery. It must then be replaced.
Do not open the battery housing and do not drill any
holes.
Do not cover the pressure relief valve and do not
change it.
1. Only charge AGM and gel batteries using the spec-
ified chargers, see chapter: Charging the battery.
