💧 Electrolyte Maintenance

This is a serviceable lead-acid tubular battery, so electrolyte levels should be checked periodically.

For proper maintenance:

  • Use only approved distilled or battery water when topping up
  • Do not overfill the cells
  • Keep terminals clean and properly tightened
  • Avoid allowing the battery to remain deeply discharged for long periods
  • Install in a ventilated location

Following the correct charging and maintenance procedures helps improve battery life.

🔗 Battery Bank Configuration

Multiple identical 12V batteries can be connected to create larger systems.

Examples include:

  • 2 batteries in series: 24V 200Ah
  • 4 batteries in series: 48V 200Ah
  • 2 batteries in parallel: 12V 400Ah

All batteries in the same bank should ideally be of the same model, capacity, age and condition.

⚠️ Charging & Installation Notice

Before installation, confirm that the inverter or solar charge controller supports:

  • 12V tubular lead-acid batteries
  • The correct charging voltage
  • Suitable charging current
  • Appropriate low-voltage cut-off settings
  • Correct cable sizes
  • Suitable DC protection devices

Professional installation by a qualified solar technician is recommended.
