Limit battery discharge by controlling its density
Limit battery discharge by controlling its density

For maximum battery performance, limit the discharge by controlling its density, so that the measured value is not less than indicated in the user manual.
Keep the cargo room properly ventilated to achieve adequate thermal dissipation. Allow the battery to cool between charge and discharge. Provide a weekly equalization charge if the battery is discharged below the minimum allowable density value (see user manual).

Add only distilled water and never acid or other solutions

To obtain the maximum water aggregate interval, adjust the cell filling system to the maximum possible height. If you do not have it, add water manually at the end of the load.
Add water only when viewing the plate protector through the hole in the vent plug, perform this verification until a repetitive filling routine is established.
