Over the life of the battery, a considerable amount of water is consumed. It is important that the water used be pure
and free of contaminants that could reduce the life of the battery by reducing the chemical reaction. The water must
be distilled or purified by an efficient filtration system. Even if the water is colorless, odorless, tasteless and fit for
drinking, the water should be analyzed to see that it does not exceed the impurity levels specified in the table.
A Battery Watering Jug; available from many auto parts stores; may be used to fill the battery, these watering devices
are accurate, easy to use and allow for rapid filling. They also maintain the correct electrolyte level within the battery
cells.
The watering device should only be used if the electrolyte level is less than 1/2” (13 mm) above top of plates...
The electrolyte in a storage battery is an acid solution which can cause severe burns to the skin
and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to the body and eyes with extended flushing with clear water.
Contact a physician immediately.
Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized with a solution of 2 teaspoons (10
ml) sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 quart (1 liter) of water
and flushed with water.
Always wear a safety shield or approved safety goggles when adding water or
charging batteries.
Battery Charging
The battery charger is designed to fully charge the battery set. If the batteries are excessively discharged, the battery
charger contains an electronic module that may not activate and the battery charger will not function. The charger
will determine the correct duration of charge to the battery set and will shut off when the battery set is fully charged.
Always refer to the instructions for the battery charger.
Before charging, the following should be observed:
Hand Held Watering Device
Distilled Water
Dispensing Valve Consistently
Fills To A Predetermined Level
Electrolyte Level
Single Battery Cell
