Spare parts may be supplied without electrolyte, dry-charged.
1. Remove any existing process plugs or sealing tape.
2. Fill the battery with electrolyte at a temperature of 15 to 25°C. The density of the electrolyte being filled (reduced to 25°C) should be 1.27–1.29 g/cm³ for regions with a moderate climate and 1.22–1.24 g/cm³ for the tropics.
3. Leave the battery for 20 minutes to allow the plates and separators to soak in electrolyte.
4. If the battery voltage is at least 12.5 V, it is ready for operation. If the voltage is less than 12.5 V but greater than 10.5 V, the battery must be recharged to the voltage specified by the manufacturer. If the voltage is less than or equal to 10.5 V, the battery is rejected.
5. As a result of impregnation of separators and plates, the electrolyte level in the battery will inevitably decrease. Therefore, before installing the battery on the car, it is necessary to bring the level to the norm, adding electrolyte of the same density as at the beginning of filling.
6. It is necessary to charge the battery after filling with electrolyte if:
- the initial operation of the battery will take place in difficult conditions: in cold weather, with frequent engine starts, etc.;
- the battery has been stored for more than 6 months from the date of manufacture.
