Note: Check the electrolyte level at each regular service. More frequent checks may be required for vehicles driven in severe conditions or in hot climates. Always check the electrolyte level before and after charging the battery.
Unscrew the battery plugs.
Check the level in all battery cells. Each cell has its own maximum mark (A).
Fill the battery to the maximum mark "A" with distilled or ionized water.
Caution: Do not use ordinary water, it may damage the battery.
SAE Cold Cranking Current Values, Corresponding Capacity and Recommended Continuous Charging Current
Cold cranking current values according to DIN standard, corresponding capacity and recommended continuous charging current
Caution: Do not fill the battery above the maximum mark. This may cause electrolyte leakage.
Install the plugs.
Caution: Do not replace the grey plugs (with exhaust filter) on black (tightly closed plugs).
Tighten the plugs completely.
Warning: The battery contains a hydrogen-oxygen mixture that is highly explosive. Open fire or smoking near the battery may cause an explosion.
The electrolyte is highly toxic. If it comes into contact with your skin, clothing or vehicle paintwork, rinse the area immediately with plenty of water.
If electrolyte gets into the engine compartment, it can cause corrosion of the engine and vehicle wiring.
