Instructions for Stationary Batteries

1- Battery Specifications
Cell Type:
Nominal Voltage:
Nominal Capacity:
Cell Quantity:
Manufacturing Number:
Delivery Date:

At 10 hours discharge with ……… A, the capacity ……… Ah and discharge end voltage is 1.80V
/ Cell.
Nominal electrolyte temperature 20OC, heat 40 OC; batteries can only exceed these degrees in
very short periods. (It should definitely not exceed 55 OC.) Excessive heat reduces service life.

The electrolyte density of the fully charged battery at the maximum level 1.24 ±0,01 g/cm3
electrolyte density decreases by 100-200 units during the discharge of the nominal capacity.

The following correction is made for temperatures below 20 OC; For less than 20 OC, 0.0007 is
extracted from the density read at each degree, the same amount is added for the above.
Charging current is, at 2,40 ± 0,02 V/Cell voltage, max. %15 K10 A. At voltages greater than 2.4
V/Cell, the charge current is reduced to max. %5 K10 A. Charge voltage is max. 2,70V/Cell.

2- Charging the battery

Check that the level of electrolyte in the cells is between the maximum and minimum levels. If it
is low; Set the maximum level with pure water in a battery that has been charged with
electrolyte in case of new electrolyte settling.
In general, the charging method is the IU charge. However, the current and voltage limits can
be charged in accordance with the different methods can be charged.
At the IU charge, current of 15% K10 is given up to 2,35-2,40V / cell maximum. The voltage then
remains constant at 2.35-2.4 V / Cell and the current starts to drop. The system automatically
turns to float voltage operation. If there is voltage application above 2,35-2,40 V / cell, the
current should be %5 K10 maximum.
Check the temperature during charging. If it goes above 40 OC, the charge should be stopped,
or low current should be given until the temperature reduced to 35 OC or below.
The rapid charge produces a large amount of gas. Increase ventilation to a sufficient level.
When the battery is fully charged, fill it up to the maximum level with distilled water or deionized
water. Charge the electrolyte for an additional 30 minutes.
Never add electrolyte without consulting MUTLU.
If the electrolyte density in the cells at the end of the charge is less than 1.24 ± 0,01 g/cm3 at 20
OC and the cause cannot be cleared or solved, notify MUTLU.

3- Normal Operation
In auto-run systems, the fast charge level is set to 2,35-2,40 V / Cell. Check. Set the float charge
voltage to 2,23 ± %1 V / Cell. Re-check after 24 hours in the adjustment process and readjust if
different. In non-automatic systems, the values of charge voltage and current limits must be in
accordance with the limits given in the table.
4- Recharging
If the battery is fully or partially discharged for any reason, it must be charged continuously until
fully charged. Charging time is 12-15 hours. The battery is fully charged when the density
reaches the specified level and the current does not decrease in the last two measurements
taken with a one-hour interval.
5- Battery Maintenance
The following maintenance must be carried out with 3-4 months or as required by the operating
experience.
 Density measurement: If the density of any cell is different from 1.24 ±0,01 g/cm3,
investigate the cause. If the solution is not found, contact MUTLU.
 Voltage measurement: If necessary, adjust the voltage to be 2.23±1 V/Cell. If the voltage
difference between the top and the lowest voltage of the cells exceeds 0.05 V, it must
be charged rapidly for at least 6 hours. The cause may be low float voltage. Contact
MUTLU if the difference continues.
 Checking the electrolyte level: Fill with distilled water or deionized water if necessary.
Continue filling with water for at least 3 minutes after filling. clean the battery and seat at
least once a year, check the frequency of connections and lubricate.

Batteries not kept under buffer charge should be charged every 90 days to meet internal losses.
Check your system once a year, unless otherwise stated by MUTLU. Adjust the voltage and
current level.

6- Usage Errors
 Failure to comply with the issues requiring communication with MUTLU.
 Exceeding current limits during charging.
 The buffer voltage limits are not within the desired tolerances. (2,23±%1 V/Cell)
 The battery voltage is high enough to exceed 2.7 V / Cell.
 The electrolyte level is not within the required limits.
 Operation of batteries over permissible temperatures.
 Unsuitable storage conditions after delivery to the consumer.
 Unavailable storage conditions.
 Failure to comply with the afore-mentioned issues will result in permanent damage to
the batteries, so that compliance with the specified requirements does not eliminate
misuse.

Batteries with usage errors are not covered by the warranty.

7- Transport and Shipping
 Batteries are transported in pallets and pallets.
 No material should be placed on the batteries.
 All measures must be taken to prevent the batteries from falling over.
 MUTLU must be contacted for batteries with broken packaged and damaged in
transportation.
 8- Storage and commissioning of dry charged batteries.
Long-term storage of dry charged lead batteries is possible. The cells should be stored in cool
and dry places to ensure a good pre-charge. Storage temperature should be between 5-35 ° C
and it should not change suddenly. It is recommended that the batteries are stored in their
original packaging.
If the electrolyte is present, the tape and nylon should be removed.
Cells should be stored upright and not stacked on top of each other. As far as possible, consult
the HAPPY and fill the electrolyte and service. Mix before waiting electrolyte. The filled
electrolyte must have a temperature of 5-35 ° C. After filling the last cell can start charging at
least 2, maximum 12 hours later. After one hour, the temperature and specific gravity of 10% of
the cells should be checked and checked. This will reduce electrolyte levels during one hour of
rest. Re-fill with electrolyte to the maximum level. Be sure to check the connections and polarity
before charging starts. Then make the pole connections when the charging system is switched
off. (Battery positive - pole to the positive end of the rectifier). In dry batteries, the amount of
replenishment charge varies according to waiting time and waiting conditions. The following
points should be taken into consideration.
1. Dry charged cells filled with electrolyte have capacities of about 85% K10. If a
temperature increase of less than 5C or a decrease of less than 0.02 is observed in the
next measurement at one hour, charging is carried out in one of the following methods.
a- 6-12 hours, at a constant voltage of 2.35 to 2.40 volts per cell, starting current up to
15% K10, end of charge current up to 5% K10 maximum.
b- With a constant current according to the permissible charge current
c- If it is desired to find full capacity more quickly, with a charging system that will
increase the current amount to 2.6-2.7V, provided that it is compatible with the given
values. As this charge method results in excessive water loss, the flotation charge must
be returned as soon as it reaches the final voltage.
2. In the electrolyte, if a temperature increase of more than 5 ° C or a density drop of more
than 0.02 g/cm3, it must be put into service with extended charge.

It is important that the first charge is carried out as uninterrupted as possible.

Charges can be made by any method suitable for maximum charge current values.
a- With 2,23±%1V operating voltage per cell
b- With a system that goes up to 2.35-2.40V per cell and then automatically returns to
2.23±%1V
c- If the gas absorption voltage is 2.40V / Cell, the charging current should not exceed
the following values for every 100Ah capacity

Charge System For K10=100Ah Max. V/Cell

IU Charge Max. Start %15, Max. Finish 2,35-2,40 V/Cell

%5
I a Constant Current After 2,40V/Cell, 5 A max. 2,6-2,7 V/Cell

The electrolyte density of the cells should not be different from 1.24±0,01 g/cm3. The surfaces of
cells that are ready for service should be wiped and dried to remove contaminated electrolyte.
 9- Warning
Sulfuric acid is corrosive. Always wear protective goggles, especially welding goggles when
working on batteries. If acid is touched with skin, wash with plenty of water. If the acid has gone
into the eye, wash with plenty of water and seek medical advice immediately. Spilled sulfuric
acid should be cleaned with plenty of water or carbonated water solution. Lead compounds
are harmful. Always wash your hands carefully before eating and after working on the battery.
The cells contain explosive oxy-hydrogen gas. Never use naked fever or incandescent material
around cells.
If the connections are unprotected, there is a risk of short circuit. Always use an isolated tool set.
When removing connections in groups exceeding a total of 60V, connections must be opened
in such a way that reduced the voltages at 3 places at least.
Batteries that are out of service must be connected to a supply charge every 90 days. Battery
packs with capacity of 1000Ah and above should be charged once a month to boil. (Even if no
compensation charge is required.)
