OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE TEST
For a correct verification by voltage measurement the batteries must remain unused (ie: not be charged or used)
for at least 6 hours, it is preferable however that the hours are 24.
1. Disconnect all loads from the battery
2. Measure the DC voltage with a multimeter
3. Check the charge status using the table
4. If the battery charge is in a range between 0% and 70% charge the battery
If the battery has lower values than those in the table the possibilities are:
1. The battery has been left without charge for too long
2. One or more battery cells are damaged
VERIFICATION OF THE LEVEL OF ELECTROLYTE
It is very important to check that the electrodes are always immersed in the electrolyte because their exposure
to air leads to a rapid and progressive degeneration due to corrosion.
The drop in the electrolyte level is physiological in acid batteries, so it is very important to periodically check
the electrolyte level and possibly add water if necessary.
When adding water it is very important to use distilled water and be very careful not to cause the liquid to
leak out due to excessive addition.
It is sufficient to add water so that the electrolyte level is sufficient to completely cover the plates.
To add water, proceed as follows:
1. Check the electrolyte level in the various cells
2. If necessary, add water to cover the plates
3. Fully charge the battery
4. At the end of the charge, check the level again
5. Add (if necessary) water so that the liquid level is 3-4mm (0.15in) below the cell cap.
WARNING: The electrolyte is a solution of sulfuric acid, therefore corrosive and extremely
dangerous for health, be very careful in all the steps described and use the precautions indicated
in the battery manual.
