PULSE CHARGING
Pulse charging has shown that the banks do not get as sulfated as one with
the traditional 3-Stage charging, but will not eliminate the need for controlled,
preventive equalization. The benefit of pulse charging is that the bank will
suffer less overcharge and hence less maintenance.
BATTERY ADDITIVES
Most battery additives are mainly a form of a common preservative, EDTA.
These additives help to increase the solubility of the sulfate in the electrolyte
(common salt effect). Some additives contain cadmium sulfate, which could
cause disposal problems in the future. These additives are not beneficial
and are not recommended.
STORAGE PROCEDURE
Keep the batteries clean and always store in a cool, dry area. Where acid
is stored or handled, good ventilation is necessary. Keep the bungs on the
containers at all times.
SPILLAGE PROCEDURE
Small spills may be neutralized using water. Spray the spill from a windward
location wearing protective equipment. Direct the jet to the outside of the
spillage, working your way inward towards the center. Larger spills should
be contained using soda ash, sand or dirt and finally washed down with
water once absorbed.
DISPOSAL PROCEDURE
Batteries must NEVER be disposed of in household waste. To reduce
environmental impacts, bring your battery to a certified recycling
depot at the end of its life.
NOTE: Lead-acid batteries are 97% recyclable. Rolls Batteries have >66%
recycled lead.
