2.9 Electrolyte
The electrolyte is diluted sulphuric acid and fixed
in a glass mat for AGM products or in a gel for
Sonnenschein products.
3. Battery maintenance and control
Keep the battery clean and dry to avoid creeping
currents. The cleaning should be carried out acc.
to the information leaflet „Cleaning of batteries"
published by ZVEI (German Electrical and Elec-
tronic Manufacturer Association, Working Group
"Industrial Batteries"). Plastic parts of the bat-
tery, especially containers, must be cleaned with
pure water without additives.
At least every 6 month measure and record:
– Battery voltage
– Float voltage of several cells/blocks
– Surface temperature of several cells/blocks
– Battery-room temperature
Annual measurement and recording:
– Battery voltage
– Float voltage of all cells / blocks
– Surface temperature of all cells/blocks
– Battery-room temperature
– Insulation-resistance acc. to DIN 43539 part1

Temperature [ ° C]
If the cell or block voltage differ from the average
float charge voltage by more than the values
given in table 7, or if the surface temperature
difference between cells / blocks exceeds 5K,
the service agent should be contacted.
Deviations of the battery voltage from the value
given in table 2 (acc. to the number of cells)
must be corrected.
Annual visual check:
– Screw-connections
– Screw-connections without locking devices
have to be checked for tightness
– Battery installation and arrangement
– Ventilation

4. Tests
Tests have to be carried out according to
IEC 60896-21.
Special instructions like DIN VDE 0107 and
EN 50172 have to be observed.
Capacity test
In order to make sure the battery is fully charged
IU-charge methods as shown in table 8 can be
applied depending on the different battery types.
The current available to the battery must be
between 10 A / 100 Ah C and 35 A / 100 Ah
