Central Venting System

Lead-Acid Battery without Visual Indicator

Lead acid batteries with removable battery cell sealing caps, without charge indicator "Magic Eye" and filled with fluid electrolyte (wet battery) require regular maintenance. The removable sealing caps allow for topping off with distilled water.

CAUTION!
Risk of injury from direct exposure to battery acid!

• Prior to handling or servicing batteries, read, understand and observe the Warnings and Safety Measures => [ There is a risk of injury from the battery
acid. ] Battery.

Risk of explosion due to the explosive gas that forms during battery charging.

• Observe warning notes and safety precautions => [ Risk of explosion due to the explosive gas
that forms during battery charging. ] Battery.

Central Venting System

To prevent vapors produced by the battery during charging from causing damage or posing a health at risk, vapors are discharged centrally through an opening on the top cover side of the battery.

- Ensure the central venting hose or tube is always secured on the battery.

- Ensure the central venting hose or tube is not pinched. Only then can battery be properly vented.

• Newer generation batteries have a fine mesh flame trap at the central venting exit point. The "flame trap" is a round fiberglass matt approximately 15 mm wide and 2 mm thick that works like a valve. On the one hand, it allows the gas formed during battery charging to flow out and on the other hand, prevents the explosive gas in the battery from igniting.
