Choose a battery that complies to technical performances required by car manufacturer. This will avoid battery overstressing and span life shortening.

For a good functioning of your battery first you should check device voltage on your car. The voltage should be within 14-14,4V. Outside these limits you should adjust it properly. Check the electrolyte density; battery needs a recharging if the density is lower than 1,24g/cm³

STORAGE AND MAINTAIN

Wet charged batteries should be stored in dry, covered, ventilated places, with temperature between 5 and 30°C and humidity lower than 80%, protected from heat and sun. Battery should be recharged according to “Recharging Instructions” chapter after a shelf storage of:

EXPLOITATION

During exploitation should be checked the electrolyte level at least once a year for TORNADO, CALCIU , CYCLON  once in 9 months for FULL OPTION and PILOT, once in 3 months for TERRA PROFESSIONAL and TERRA , once in 2 months for MAGMA. Electrolyte level should be 26 ± 2 mm over the plates for all types of batteries.

A lower electrolyte level could be adjusted only by adding distilled water, never sulphuric acid or tap water.

RECHARGING INSTRUCTIONS

A battery must be recharged when:
- it is discharged more than 25%
- the storage period is expired (see “Storage” chapter)

WARNING

• to avoid the electrolyte leakage the batteries should be stored, shipped and mounted in normal position of use.
• open flames or sparks near the battery mounted on the car during recharging process are forbidden. EXPLOSION DANGER!
