The charging currents of the batteries are showed in the following table:
If after battery charging the density is higher, add distilled water, and if it is lower add
electrolyte with 1,40 g / cm≈ density, observing that the electrolyte level to be 10 – 15 mm
over the separators. In case of adding water or electrolyte, the battery shall be submitted to
a homogenization charging process, in the second stage II, during 15 – 20 min.
The total charging time of these types of batteries is of about 35 hours.
The dry-charged batteries shall be filled with electrolyte with 1,28 g/cm≈ density at
20 ° C, until the level of the latter is 10 – 15 mm over the separators. After 2 – 3 hours,
during which the electrolyte penetrates the plates, check again the level the level and refill
it with electrolyte of same density, then batteries can be put it in operation. This type of
batteries are submitted to a charging processus, by mean of a voltage rectifier having the
charging current value set in second stage II, in the follow situations: batteries stored for
more than 6 months from the manufacturing date; extremely heavy exploitation conditions
(repeated startings at low temperatures).
After finishing the charging process, screw the battery plugs, taking care not to obturate
the plugs vents, the surface of the battery to be dry and clean and the terminals greased
with neutral grease, acid resistant.
