It is always best to test your batteries before using the Battery Extra. This will confirm if a battery
can be saved or improved. Even new batteries can suffer from being sulphated if they were badly
stored before you bought them.
Always be aware that when handling batteries you should wear goggles and gloves. First do a
visible inspection. Replace any battery that has a cracked or broken case. Clean or replace any
dirty damaged or rusty connections. On wet batteries check the water level, make sure the water
just covers the plates. Fill only with distilled water. Be aware that the battery solution is corrosive.
You will need a voltmeter to test your batteries.
First, switch off, or preferably, disconnect any accessories or items that your battery powers. Next
charge the battery or battery pack until it is fully charged.
If your battery system is made up of more than one battery, you should disconnect them from
each other. Now let the batteries rest for 4 to 8 hours to allow any surface charge to dissipate, this
is most important to get an accurate voltage reading.
With a voltmeter check the voltage of each battery. If your batteries have been in recent use i.e.
not been in storage for a long time period of time, then any 12 volt battery recording less than 10.5
volts, or if you are using 6 volt batteries less than 5.3 volts, it is most likely that the battery has a
shorted or open cell and is not recoverable. Replace that battery with one of the same make and
capacity.
If you do not have a voltmeter you can just fit your Battery Extra to each battery in turn and check
the voltage reading shown on the LED display.
INSTALLING YOUR BATTERIES
If you are installing the Battery Extra (BE) to a used or older set of batteries, we would ask you to
please read the section in this guide on testing your batteries.
The BE comes with 2 types of connector
(EX01 12-150 only supplied with ring
connectors), ring connectors for
permanent fitting and crocodile
connectors if you do not wish to make
your connection permanent. Please
make sure when you are attaching your
preferred connectors to the BE, you fit
the red wire to the red wire and the
black to black. Fitting the wrong way
round will not damage the unit, but it will
not work. If wish to disconnect the
connectors from the BE, please do not
pull on the wires this could easily
damage the connections.
