MASTERVOLT MV61002600 AGM 6V Marine Batteries User Manual

Symbols

| Observe these instructions and keep them located near the battery for future reference. Work on the battery should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
---|---
| Do not smoke or introduce sparks in the vicinity of the battery. Explosion and fire hazards are present.
| While working on batteries wear protective eye-glassing and clothing. Observe accident protection rules.
| Any acid splashes on the skin or in the eyes must be flushed with plenty of water immediately. Then seek medical assistance. Spillages on clothing should be rinsed out with water.

| Explosion and fire hazard. Do not short circuit, use insulated tools.
| Electrolyte is strongly corrosive. Under normal conditions contact with electrolyte is impossible. If  the housing is damaged the electrolyte can be available.
| Batteries are heavy. Ensure adequate mounting security and always use suitable handling equipment for transportation.
| Metal parts of the battery are always alive. Do not place tools or other items on the battery. Do not wear any metallic items such as watches, bracelets, et cetera.

General

Mastervolt AGM 6V batteries are immediate ready for use. Do not open the valves. Opening of valves will void warranty. Never add acid or distilled water.

Installation

• Prior to installation check battery for mechanical damages.

• Recommended torque for screw connections: 16.0 to 20.5 Nm / 145 to 180 InLbs.

• Install in upright position.

• Keep >1cm />0.5 inch space between the batteries.

• Keep away from heat sources.

• Allowed operating temperature: –20 to 55ºC / –4 to 131ºF; Nominal operating temperature: 5 to 35ºC / 41 to 95ºF. Recommended at 25ºC/ 77ºF. The battery life is halved for every 10ºC of rise in temperature. Lower temperatures will reduce the available capacity

• Under overcharging conditions lead acid batteries can vent an explosive mixture of hydrogen gas. If contained, assure adequate ventilation.

• Clear the terminals before connection.

• During installation all loads and chargers must be
  switched off.

• Use properly sized and reliable cable lugs and battery terminals. Tighten all connections firmly.

• Connect the battery with correct polarity. The position of the battery poles may differ from previous installed batteries!

• Connect the minus cable last of all.

• Use protective battery terminal insulators.

• Batteries in series or parallel must be of the same brand, type, capacity and state of charge. Do not mix old and new batteries. See figures 1 to 4 if batteries must be connected in parallel or in series.

Charging

Use only chargers with IUoUo characteristic. Voltage settings: float charge 6.90V @ 25ºC / 77ºF; absorption charge 7.13V @ 25ºC / 77ºF (max 5 hrs). Temperature compensated charging is recommended (–15mV/ºC or –8mV/ºF).
Maximum charge current: 30% of rated capacity @ C10. Incomplete charges may damage the batteries. Therefore, the batteries must be charged to the full 100% regularly, at least every month.

Discharge

Avoid deep discharges. Regular discharges beyond 50% of the nominal capacity are not recommended as they might shorten the lifetime of the battery.
Recharge the battery immediately after a discharge. Never discharge below the final discharge voltage. The final discharge voltage is related to the discharge current. See table “Final discharge voltage”.

Maintenance

Check batteries and connections on a regular base, at least every three months. Defects such as loose or corroded connections must be corrected immediately. Keep battery in charged condition.
Elevated environmental temperatures increase the self discharge rate of the batteries. See “Battery storage” Batteries should be recharged when the open circuit voltage drops below 6.2 Volt.
Keep the battery dry and clean. Use only a wet soft cloth to clean the battery. Never use any additives, acids and/or scourers.

Disposal of batteries

Spent batteries are harmful to health and the environment. Therefore batteries may not be mixed with domestic or industrial waste but must be collected and recycled separately. Contact your supplier for recollection and recycling of batteries or contact an authorized waste management company

BATTERY STORAGE

The rate of self discharge is approximately 3% per month @ 20ºC / 68 ºF. Therefore batteries need supplementary charge according to the table below to keep its capacity.
