The battery (12 V – 9 Ah) is sealed and without maintenance.

In order to lengthen the battery life it is necessary though to follow a few recommendations­:

  • When the tension drops below 12.6V. It is necessary to recharge the battery.
  • Max. allowed recharging current is 1.8A
  • The ideal recharge is achieved with an average charging current of 0.8 = 1 A. (recharging time of appr. 10 h.) and at an ambient temperature between 0° and 40°C.

ATTENTION:

An overcharge or an extremely Quick charge with excessive current could damage the battery (the battery would tend to swell)

Choose a battery charger with the following characteristics:

Feed tension: 90f250 Vac – 50160 Hz
Outlet tension: 15 V full charge – 13.8 stand-by
Max. outlet current: 2A full charge
During transportation or storage the battery could loose its charge due to the self discharge (0.1 % max per day)
Fully recharge battery before use.
