• Nominal S.G. of electrolyte*
• Rated temperature
• Nominal electrolyte level**
* Will be reached within the first 10 cycles.
** GiV batteries are valve-regulated batteries (VRLA) with an immobilised electrolyte, where a water refilling isn't permitted
during the whole battery life. Instead of vent plugs, valves are used, which will be destroyed when they are opened. When
operating valve-regulated lead-acid batteries the same safety requirements as for vented cells apply to protect against
hazards from electric current, from explosion of electrolytic gases and, in case of the cell container is damaged, from the
corrosive electrolyte.
Pay attention to the "instructions for use" and fix them close to the battery.
•
•
Work on the battery should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
•
Use protective glasses and clothes when working on batteries.
Pay attention to the accident prevention rules as well as EN 50272-3,
EN 50110-1.
•
No smoking!
Do not expose batteries to naked flames, glowing embers or sparks, as it
may cause the battery to explode.
Keep children away from batteries!
•
•
Acid splashes in the eyes or on the skin must be washed with
water. In case of accident consult a doctor immediately.
Clothing contaminated by acid should be washed in water
•
•
Risk of explosion and fire, avoid short circuits.
Electolyte is highly corrosive.
•
In the normal operation of GiV batteries a contact with acid isn't possible. If
•
the cell containers are damaged, the immobilised electrolyte (gelled sulphuric
acid) is corrosive like the liquid electrolyte.
•
Do not spin battery!
Ensure secure installation. Use only suitable handling equipment e.g. lifting gear in
•
accordance with VDI 3616. Avoid damage to the batteries, connectors or end
cables with the lifting equipment.
Dangerous electrical voltage!
•
Caution! Metal parts of the battery are always alive. Do not place tools or
other metal objects on the battery.
Ignoring the operation instructions, repair with non-original parts or using additives for the
electrolyte will render the warranty void.
Spent batteries have to be collected and recycled separately from normal household
wastes (EWC 160601). The handling of spent batteries is described in the EU Battery
Directive (91/157/EEC) and their national transitions (UK: HS Regulation 1994 No. 232,
Pb
Ireland: Statory Instrument No. 73/2000). Contact your supplier to agree upon the
recollection and recycling of your spent batteries or contact a local and authorized
Waste Management Company.

:up to electrolyte level mark "max." or cover at least the separators
The battery end cables must have a good
contact to terminals, check that the polarity is
correct. Otherwise battery, vehicle or charger
could be destroyed. After connecting cover the
end poles with grease as external corrosion pro-
tection.
The level of the electrolyte must be checked. If it
is below the electrolyte level mark " min." or the
top of the separator, it must first be topped up to
this height with purified water (only GiS/ PzS-
batteries).
The battery is then charged as in item 2.2.
The electrolyte should be topped up to the spe-
cified level with purified water (DIN 43530 part 4).
(only GiS/ PzS-batteries).
