Maximum 24 h
3) Constant current battery charge mode
-Charge current equal to 1/10 of the nominal ca-
pacity of the battery
-Duration of the charge: 5 h
WARNING
-WHEN THE BATTERY IS REALLY FLAT (WELL BELOW
12.6V) IT MIGHT BE THAT 5 HOURS OF RECHARGING ARE
NOT ENOUGH TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE.
IN THESE CONDITIONS IT IS HOWEVER ESSENTIAL NOT
TO EXCEED EIGHT HOURS OF CONTINUOUS RECHARG-
ING SO AS NOT TO DAMAGE THE BATTERY ITSELF.

Battery maintenance
The battery is an electrical device which requires careful monitoring and diligent maintenance. The
maintenance rules are:
1) Check the level of the electrolyte
The electrolyte level must be checked frequently and must reach the upper level. Only use distilled
water, to restore this level. If it is necessary to add water too frequently, check the vehicle's electrical
system: the battery that is working in overloaded mode gets ruined quickly.
2)Load status check
After restoring the electrolyte level, check its density using an appropriate densitometer (see the figure).
When the battery is charged, you should detect a density of 30÷32 Bé corresponding to a specific weight
of 1.26÷1.28 at a temperature not lower than 15ºC. If the density has fallen below 20 Bé, the battery is
completely flat and therefore it is necessary to recharge it. After charging the battery, check each ele-
ment electrolyte level and density. If the vehicle is not used for some time (1 month or more) the battery
needs to be recharged periodically. The battery runs down completely in the course of three months. If
it is necessary to refit the battery in the vehicle, be careful not to reverse the connections, remembering
that the ground wire (black) marked (-) must be connected to the -negative clamp while the other two
red wires marked (+) must be connected to the clamp marked with the +positive sign.
3) Recharging the battery
The normal bench charging must be carried out with the specific battery charger 020333Y (single) or
020334 (multiple), placing the battery charger selector on the type of battery to be recharged. The
connections to the power supply must be made by connecting to the corresponding poles (+ with+ and
-with -).
WARNING
BEFORE RECHARGING THE BATTERY, REMOVE THE CAPS OF EACH CELL.
