Charging - H-Tronic AL 800 Mode D'emploi

Air the battery case for 2 minutes so inflammable gases can volatilise. Check the liquid
level when charging and, if necessary, refill it. In addition, check the liquid regularly in
case of longer charging time (hibernation). Use safety goggles. Do not spill lead-acid-
batteries. Avoid any kind of contact with the battery liquid since it can cause serious
burns. In case of contact, wash off the contact spot (skin, clothes etc.) immediately
with plenty of water to dissolve the battery acid. Always see a doctor in case of
skin contact. Keep recharging lead-acid-batteries from time to time, at least every 3
months, if stored for a longer period of time to prevent deep discharge. Never bypass
the battery contacts. When connecting the batteries, it is necessary to consider the
polarity and the charging instructions of the respective battery manufacturer.
