1-8 GENERAL INFORMATION Technical InformationMaintenance Free Battery A maintenance free battery is installed in this modelThe maintenance free battery is sealed type, and so cannot be performed the electrolyte level check and topping-up
(I) Construction
Sealing plug Filter Lid (P.P Terminal (lead-calcium alloy) Filler plug Pole (lead-calcium alloy) Negative pi ate (lead and lead-calcium alloy) Special separator Positive plate (lead and lead-calcium alloy)
(II) Main Features 1) Maintenance freeIt is not necessary to check the electrolyte level and top- up the electrolyte2) No electrolyte leakage As the electrolyte is retained firmly in the special separators, there is no free electrolyte in the battery3) Instant activation system It can be used instantly after filling only the electrolyte without initial charge4) One-push motion electrolyte filling It is possible to fill the electrolyte by easy one-push motion5) Safety construction If the battery internal pressure rises abnormally high, the safety valve opens to release the gas inside the battery to restore the normal pressure and prevent the battery from rupturingAfter restoring the normal pressure, the safety valve closes and the battery is sealed againMoreover, ceramic filter is disposed on top of the safety valve under the lid to remove risk of ignition or explosion caused by fire from outside6) Compact and high performance No presence of free electrolyte allows the battery made lower in height, thus resulting in enhanced volume efficiencyMoreover, gas being absorbed inside the battery eliminates the need for gas exhaust tube7) Strong chargedischarge characteristics It can amply withstand deep chargedischarge cycles(III) Principle of Sealing Structure lead-acid battery operates under the following chemical reaction:
