The battery is designed for heavy-duty applications and provides superior performance during long and frequent power cuts.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for extending the life of your battery:
- Check Water Levels: Periodically check the electrolyte levels in each cell using the 6 water level indicators. Maintain the level between the minimum and maximum marks.
- Top-Up with Distilled Water: If the electrolyte level is low, add only distilled water. Do not add tap water or acid.
- Keep Clean: Keep the battery top and terminals clean and free from dust and corrosion. Use a damp cloth to wipe the battery surface.
- Terminal Cleaning: If corrosion appears on the terminals, clean them with a wire brush and apply petroleum jelly to prevent further corrosion.
- Ventilation: Ensure the battery area remains well-ventilated to dissipate gases.
7. Troubleshooting
