2.1 Pre-Installation Checks

• Compatibility: Before purchasing and installing, always confirm the actual battery type (size, rank, and terminal polarity) currently installed in your vehicle. Vehicle models, engine types, and years can vary, leading to different battery specifications.
• Handling: Batteries contain electrolyte (dilute sulfuric acid). Always handle the battery in a horizontal position to prevent spills and ensure safety.
• Safety: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves, during installation.

1. Remove Old Battery: Disconnect the negative (-) terminal first, then the positive (+) terminal of the old battery. Carefully remove the old battery from the vehicle.
2. Clean Battery Tray: Clean the battery tray and terminal clamps to ensure good electrical contact.
3. Position New Battery: Place the LEOCH EFB battery securely in the battery tray. The foldable handle can assist with positioning.
4. Connect Terminals: Connect the positive (+) terminal first, then the negative (-) terminal. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
5. Terminal Adapters: If your vehicle requires a different terminal type (e.g., T1 to T2), use the provided terminal conversion adapters.

2.3 Vent Plug (If Applicable)

Some vehicles may require a vent plug. If applicable to your car model, install the provided vent plug only where necessary, following your vehicle's specific instructions.

3. Operation

The LEOCH EFB-115D23L Q-85 battery is designed to seamlessly integrate with your vehicle's electrical system, providing reliable power for starting and accessories.

3.1 Idling Stop and Charge Control Systems

This EFB battery is specifically engineered to support the demanding requirements of idling stop and charge control vehicles. Its robust design and enhanced cycle life ensure consistent performance even with frequent engine start-stop cycles.

3.2 Charge Status Indicator

The battery is equipped with a built-in indicator to show its charge status at a glance:

• Green: Indicates the battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition.
• Black: Indicates the battery is undercharged and requires recharging.
• White: Indicates a low electrolyte level, meaning the battery needs to be replaced.

4. Maintenance

While the LEOCH EFB-115D23L Q-85 is a maintenance-free battery, following these guidelines will help maximize its lifespan and performance.

• Regular Checks: Periodically check the charge status indicator.
• Recharging: If the indicator shows black, recharge the battery using a compatible automotive battery charger.
• Terminal Cleanliness: Keep battery terminals clean and free from corrosion. Use a wire brush and a mixture of baking soda and water to clean any corrosion, then rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
• Preventing Discharge: Long periods of inactivity or short, infrequent drives can lead to battery discharge. Regular driving or periodic charging with a battery charger is recommended to maintain optimal battery health.
• Storage: If storing the vehicle for an extended period, disconnect the battery or use a trickle charger to prevent deep discharge.

5. Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:

• Vehicle Does Not Start / Slow Cranking:
  • Check the charge indicator. If it's black, the battery is discharged. Recharge it using a suitable battery charger.
  • Ensure battery terminals are clean and securely connected. Loose or corroded terminals can impede current flow.
  • If the issue persists after recharging and checking connections, the battery may be at the end of its service life or there might be an issue with the vehicle's charging system. Consult a professional mechanic.
• Charge Indicator Shows White:
  • A white indicator signifies a low electrolyte level. This battery type is sealed and not designed for refilling. The battery needs to be replaced.
• Battery Drains Quickly:
  • Ensure there are no parasitic drains on the vehicle's electrical system (e.g., lights left on, faulty accessories).
  • Verify that the vehicle's alternator is charging the battery correctly. A faulty alternator can lead to undercharging.
  • If the battery is frequently discharged despite normal usage and a healthy charging system, it may indicate a declining battery capacity, suggesting replacement.
