If the plates are covered by electrolyte, the battery should be placed on charge. The gases produced by
charging will displace the electrolyte and will raise it to an acceptable level between the high and low level
marks on the container. Had the level been adjusted to the “High” mark before charging, charging could have
caused the electrolyte to rise to a point where it could overflow through the vent or be forced up into the flame
arrester, requiring needless maintenance.
If, after charging, the electrolyte levels have not risen to between the high and low level lines, add distilled or
de-ionized water. Do Not Add Acid. Adding acid is a procedure that should be done only after consultation
with C&D Technologies or performed by a C&D Technologies Manufacturers’ Representative.
NOTE: Adding water to a battery to bring the initial electrolyte levels up will reduce the specific gravity.
Watering cells and adjusting electrolyte levels in vented cells
CAUTION: Do not add water or electrolyte to VRLA cells. Removal of vents from VRLA type cells voids the warranty.
Adjust electrolyte levels only when cells are fully charged and stabilized at float voltage. Distilled or de-ionized
water is preferred for adjusting electrolyte levels. Before adding water or acid to a battery, consider its condi-
tion and state of charge. For example, a new battery, which has recently experienced vibration during ship-
ment,
Lead-acid batteries are recyclable and C&D Technologies currently has a low cost, convenient and
