BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING NOTES AND SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR FILLED LEAD-ACID BATTERIES
• For safety reasons, wear eye
protection when handling a
battery.
• Keep out of reach of
children.
• Fires, sparks, naked flames
and smoking are prohibited.
• Avoid causing sparks when
dealing with cables and
electrical equipment, and
beware of electrostatic
discharges.
• Avoid short circuits.
Explosion hazard:
• A highly explosive
oxyhydrogen gas mixture is
produced when batteries are
charged.
1. Storage and transport
• Batteries are filled with acid.
• Always store and transport batteries upright and prevent
from tilting so that no acid can escape.
• Store in a cool and dry place.
• Do not remove the protective cap from the positive
terminal.
• Run a FIFO (first in-first out) warehouse management
system.
2. Initial operation
• The batteries are filled with acid at a density of 1.28g/ml
during the manufacturing process and are ready for use.
• Recharge in case of insufficient starting power (see no. 4).
3. Installation in the vehicle and removal from the vehicle
• Switch off the engine and all electrical equipment.
• When removing, disconnect the negative terminal first.
• Avoid short circuits caused by tools, for example.
• Remove any foreign body from the battery tray, and
clamp battery tightly after installation.
• Clean the terminals and clamps, and lubricate slightly
with battery grease.
• When installing, first connect the positive terminal, and
check the terminal clamps for tight fit.
• After having fitted the battery in the vehicle, remove the
protective cap from the positive terminal, and place it on
the terminal of the replaced battery in order to prevent
short circuits and possible sparks.
• Use parts from the replaced battery, such as the terminal
covers, elbows, vent pipe connection and terminal
holders (where applicable); use available or supplied filler
caps.
• Leave at least one vent open, otherwise there is a danger
of explosion. This also applies when old batteries are
returned.
4. Charging
• Remove the battery from the vehicle; disconnect the lead
of the negative terminal first.
• Ensure good ventilation.
• Use suitable direct current chargers only.
• Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the
C190-0176
18 / 73
Corrosive hazard:
Battery acid is highly corrosive,
therefore:
• Wear protective gloves and
eye protection.
• Do not tilt the battery, acid
may escape from the vent
openings.
First aid:
• Rinse off acid splashed in the
eyes immediately for several
minutes with clear water!
Remove contact lenses if
worn and continue rinsing.
Then consult a doctor
immediately.
• Neutralise acid splashes on
the skin or clothes
immediately with acid
neutraliser (soda) or soap
positive output of the charger. Connect the negative
terminal accordingly.
• Switch on the charger only after the battery has been
connected, and switch off the charger first after charging
has been completed.
• Charging current-recommendation: 1/10 ampere of the
battery capacity Ah.
• Use a charger with a constant charging voltage of 14.4V
for re-charging.
• If the acid temperature rises above 55
charging.
• The battery is fully charged when the charging voltage
has stopped rising for two hours.
5. Maintenance
• Keep the battery clean and dry.
• Use a moist anti-static cloth only to wipe the battery,
otherwise there is a danger of explosion.
• Do not open the battery.
• Recharge in case of insufficient starting power (see no. 4).
6. Jump Starting
• Use the standardised jumper cable in compliance with
DIN 72553 only, and follow the operating instructions.
• Use batteries of the same
nominal voltage only.
• Switch off the engines of
both vehicles.
• First connect the two positive
terminals (1) and (2), then
connect
terminal of the charged battery (3) to a metal part (4) of
the vehicle requiring assistance away from the battery.
• Start the engine of the vehicle providing assistance, then
start the engine of the vehicle requiring assistance for a
maximum of 15 seconds.
• Disconnect the cables in reverse sequence (4-3-2-1).
7. Taking the battery out of service
• Charge the battery; store in a cool place or in the vehicle
with the negative terminal disconnected.
• Check the battery state of charge at regular intervals, and
correct by recharging when necessary (see no. 4).

suds, and rinse with plenty of
water.
• If acid is swallowed, consult a
doctor immediately.
Warning notes: The battery case
can become brittle, to avoid this:
• Do not store batteries in
direct sunlight.
• Discharged batteries may
freeze up, therefore store in
an area free from frost.
Disposal:
• Dispose of old batteries at an
authorised collection point.
• The notes listed under item 1
are to be followed for
transport.
• Never dispose of old batteries
in household waste.
