Caution!
- Do not remove the aluminum seal sheet sealing the filler ports until just before use.
- Be sure to use the dedicated electrolyte container for correct electrolyte volume.
Check to see that there is no peeling, tears or holes in the sealing sheet.
Place the battery on a level surface.
Remove the sealing sheet [А].
When removing, check to hear an air-sucking sound "Shoosh!" from filler ports [В].
Note. A battery whose sealing sheet has any peeling. tears, holes, or from which the air-sucking sound was not heard requires a refreshing charge (initial charge).
Take the electrolyte container out of the vinyl bag.
Detach the strip of caps [A] from the container.
Note.
- Do not discard the strip of caps because it is used as the battery plugs later.
- Do not peel back or pierce the sealed areas [В].
Place the electrolyte container upside down with the six sealed areas in line with the six battery filler ports.
Push the container down strongly enough to break the seals. Now the electrolyte should start to flow into the battery
Note. Do not tilt the container as the electrolyte flow may be interrupted.
Make sure air bubbles [A] are coming up from all six filler ports.
Leave the container this way for 5 minutes or longer.
Note. If no air bubbles are coming up from a filler port, tap [B] the bottom of the bottle two or three times. Never remove the container from the battery.
Caution! Fill until the container is completely emptied.
Be certain that all the electrolyte has flowed out.
Tap the bottom the same way as above if there is any electrolyte left in the container.
Now pull the container gently out of the battery.
Let the battery sit for 20 minutes. During this time, the electrolyte permeates the special separators and the gas generated by chemical reaction is released.
Fit the strip of caps [A] tightly into the filler ports until the strip is at the same level as the top of the battery.
Note. Do not hammer. Press down evenly with both hands.
Caution! Once you install the strip of caps after filling the battery, never remove it, nor add any water or electrolyte.
