    BATTERY WATERING

    EXTEND BATTERY LIFE - AVOID DOWNTIME

WHY BATTERY WATER LEVELS MATTER

When battery water levels drop too low, the active material will oxidize. This will cause the battery to lose power and if levels are too low for too long, may result in permanent damage. It's important to regularly check and maintain the water levels of your battery fleet to maximize its useful life and avoid any costly downtime. 

  • Always put safety first


    IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS

    + Wear proper safety equipment including safety glasses or face shield, apron and rubber gloves
    + Work only in designated areas
    + Make sure the work surface is stable and level, adequately ventilated and free of spark or flame producing items.
