  • Preventative Maintenance

The battery should be examined for cleanliness at regular intervals

  • Read the Safety page
  • Keep cell terminals and connectors free of dust and corrosion. Terminal corrosion may affect the performance of the battery and could present a safety hazard. Should corrosion be observed, disconnect the battery, unbolt and remove the connectors, and remove the corrosion by brushing the terminals and connectors with a diluted solution of baking soda and water (sodium bicarbonate). Reapply an anti-oxidizing grease before reconnecting and bolting the connectors. Always maintain proper records.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE PRESSURE-RELIEF VALVES AND NEVER ADD WATER.

To ensure our batteries safely reach their maximum shelf life, the average annual storage temperature should be 15°C. The short-term storage temperature must not exceed 25°C or battery life may be affected.

  • READ THE SAFETY SECTION.
  • Remove the battery from the vehicle.
  • Find a cool, dry place to keep your battery.
  • Make sure the battery is fully charged and recharge it approximately every two months.
  • Cleaning any terminal corrosion may affect the performance of the battery and could present a safety hazard. Remove the corrosion by brushing the terminals and connectors with a dilute solution of baking soda and water (sodium bicarbonate). Reapply an anti-oxidizing grease before reconnecting and bolting the connectors.

Autumn: Prior to the rest period

  • Charge the battery completely, switch off all electrical devices, and, if possible, disconnect the battery.
  • Store in a cool, dry place.
  • Store batteries fully charged
  • Fully charged batteries can be stored even at temperatures well below zero – Partially charged batteries can freeze at temperatures just below zero.

Winter: Prior to the rest period

  • Check the state of charge/voltage regularly
  • Should the voltage drop below 12,4 V, recharge the battery

Spring/Summer: Prior to the rest period

  • Check the state of charge/voltage regularly
  • Should the voltage drop below 12,4 V, recharge the battery
