Switch off all power-consuming equipment, and connect the earth/ground/chassis
cable last of all. Take care to ensure that the battery and its connections
are secure. Your GEL battery is supplied from the manufacturer ready for use!
 In spite of the extremely small amount of gassing from your GEL battery,
please pay attention to the following: |
- Do not use hermetically sealed battery containers.
- There should be no spark-producing switches, relays or the like situated
in the immediate vicinity of the battery.

Your EXIDE GEL is
ABSOLUTELY MAINTENANCE-FREE!!
During the entire battery lifetime there is no need for you to check the
acid level, grease the terminal posts or top up with distilled water.
These benefits are a result of the sealed construction of the EXIDE GEL.
But that also means: you must never open the battery! Otherwise the battery would be destroyed by oxidation.
For the case if your battery is installed where an external charger is
necessary:
“Absolutely maintenance-free” does not mean that you can neglect your EXIDE GEL battery as far as charging with the
charger is concerned! Correct recharging (IU-charge characteristic) is
the only way to preserve the performance benefits of your EXIDE GEL for
a prolonged time.
As a result of its future-proofed technology with an immobilised gel electrolyte,
your EXIDE GEL is not only absolutely maintenance-free but also
- absolutely electrolyte-tight
- vibration-resistant
- extremely low gassing
- cycling-proof
- permitted angle of inclination up to 180 degrees
- deep-discharge-proof (recharge after a maximum of 4 weeks)
More cycles – longer lifetime:
Compared to an HD-commercial vehicle starter battery, the EXIDE GEL allows
a much greater number of cycles at the same depth of discharge. A clear
advantage in regard to performance and economy.
