Zoeller Deep Cycle Battery

The chemistry and plate design of deep cycle batteries are totally different than that of automotive

starting batteries. The grid metal used in the deep cycle battery plate is specically formulated

to increase the adhesion of high-density active paste material. This provides the best available

running time, cycle life and charge acceptance.

Zoeller deep cycle wet battery employs a low-maintenance design. It does require periodic

maintenance and effective charging service to ensure dependable service life. The purpose of this

service guide is to help you understand the characteristics, operation and care of the battery so

that all of their advantages may be fully realized.

Inspection & Handling 1. Do not allow the battery to tip or operate at a severe angle in any direction. This would allow the battery electrolyte to push through the battery vent assembly. 2. 3. Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area. 4. 5. If there is evidence of damage – notify Zoeller Pump Co. to make a damage report. Upon receipt, examine the battery for signs of wetness or impact (which may indicate damage in shipment or that the battery was tipped beyond a 45° angle during transit).

Watering Service Deep cycle batteries begin service consuming relatively low amounts of water. The real need to add water to batteries may vary from weekly service to monthly service depending upon the operating environment and other external factors. As batteries age they will use more water, and in warmer climates batteries will require more frequent service. Equipment owners and users must be vigilant in performing regular watering service to ensure premium performance and life.

Troubleshooting A common procedure for troubleshooting battery performance involves a three-point procedure: 1. Visual Inspection: Check battery age or length of service if available. Inspect battery for damage - when physical damage to the battery container or terminals is present, replace the battery. Be sure no open flame or spark is near while the battery’s vent caps are removed from the battery. If none, check the battery’s cell electrolyte levels.
