6.2 Battery disposal - disposal of waste batteries
Used batteries must be disposed of according to law!
Legal basis for the disposal of the battery on 01.12.2009 Law on the placing on the market, return and
environmentally sound disposal of batteries and accumulators. (Battery-law-BattG)

6.3 General Rules and Advice for Operation
Above all, the battery manufacturer's directions and instructions are applicable.
Modern sulphuric acid batteries require little maintenance and are easy to maintain.
The working life of the battery depends mainly on the manner of application and maintenance.
To ensure longest possible working life, observe the following rules:
Do not retain discharged batteries. Recharge as soon as possible.
Avoid heavy discharge of more of 80% of nominal capacity.
The acidity should not be lower than 1,13 kg/l .
Heavy discharges reduce capacity and working life.
The most favourable operating temperature is between + 25°C and + 40°C. Do not exceed the
electrolyte temperature of + 55°C.
Expect a temperature increase of approx. 10° up to 12°C during charging.
Interrupt charging before having exceeded the temperature limit of 55°C.
At temperatures of more than 40°C more distilled water will evaporate. Control the acid level more often.
Heavy duty and winter temperatures require a daily charging of the battery, even if less than 80% of the
nominal capacity have been consumed.
Always keep the battery clean and dry and protect against soiling.
Thoroughly grease the pole terminals (pole screws)
Only refill distilled water according to DIN 43530.
For charging, only use charging devices which are suited for the battery size (capacity) and charging
times.
Before charging, remove the battery covers respectively open the battery storage cap.
The ventilation holes of the fillers must be free to allow battery gasses to escape.
Repairs on the battery and charging device should only be executed by trained and competent
personnel.
After having completed the charging process the stacker has to remain in a ventilated room until all gas-
ses have safely escaped. Avoid handling the electric installation during charging and in the subsequent
non-working time.
6.4 Maintenance
Observe the battery manufacturer's maintenance instructions!

6.5 Dangers and Preventive Measures
Dangers
The gasses developed during
charging are explosive.
The electrolyte (diluted sulphuric
acid) is corrosive.
Lead and lead connections are
harmful.
Used batteries to be disposed according to legal regulations.

Charge Battery
Control the electrolyte level. If required, refill cleaned water as per DIN 43530 (distilled water)
towards the end of recharging.
Control all cells for equal gassing at the end of recharging. Check acidity and temperature.
Check the pole terminals for tight connection.
Towards the end of the recharging control voltage
Check charging device and charge the battery.
Preventive Measures
Have charging area well ventilated. Avoid open flames and sparks.
Smoking prohibited.
Wear protective clothing, eye protectors and safety gloves.
When handling batteries do not eat or drink.
Wash your hands thoroughly after having worked on batteries.
