Fill the battery up to the maximum mark «A» distilled or ionized water.
Attention. Do not use plain water, it may damage the battery.
SAE cold cranking amps, corresponding capacitance and recommended constant charging current
DIN cold cranking amps, corresponding capacitance and recommended constant charging current
Attention. Do not fill the battery above the maximum mark. This may cause electrolyte leakage.
Install plugs.
Attention. Do not replace gray plugs (with exhaust filter) on black (tightly closed plugs).
Fully tighten the plugs.
Attention. The battery contains an oxygen-hydrogen mixture, which is highly explosive. Open fire or smoking near the battery may cause an explosion.
