ENGLISH
Replacing the battery
If a replacement battery is required, use a 6 V / 4 Ah (for P25, P35), or a
12 V / 7 Ah (for P70, P140) sealed lead-acid battery.
WARNING: Do not use a non-rechargeable battery!
Replacement battery details
In the event of a spill or leakage from a sealed lead-acid battery:
• C ontain small spills with dry sand, soil and vermiculite. Do not use combu-
stible materials. If possible, carefully neutralise spilled electrolyte with soda
ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc.
• Wear acid-resistant clothing, boots, gloves and a face shield.
• Do not let un-neutralised acid get into the sewerage system.
Storage
The energizer should be stored inside, next to a window, where sunlight can
shine on the energizer each day.
If the energizer cannot be stored in a sunny position, it should be kept in a
cool place. The battery should be fully charged and disconnected from the
energizer. The battery should be recharged manually every six months using
a suitable battery charger.
If the energizer is stored for extended periods, the battery can discharge and
become damaged.
Maintenance
Clean the solar panel regularly with a soft cloth using glass cleaner or a mild
solution of detergent and water. This will ensure that the solar panel functions
efficiently.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the energizer in water!
When transporting the energizer, protect the solar panel to prevent the glass
surface from being damaged.
