Batteries.

Quality, durability and reliability sum up the DriveTec range of automotive and commercial batteries. The DriveTec range is built to the very highest specification to cope with today’s automotive electrical demands.

We have combined quality and affordability in a battery brand you can trust.

VENTILATION.
During the charging process flooded/wet lead acid batteries release small amounts of gas. AGM and Gel batteries usually do not release gas but can if too much pressure builds up during charging. Batteries must be charged in a properly ventilated area.

INSPECTION.

• Keep the battery clean and corrosion free.
• If there is liquid on the top of an open top wet flooded battery, this may mean the battery is being over-watered or overcharged.
• If liquid is on the top of an AGM or gel battery this could also mean the battery is being overcharged. The performance and lifespan will be reduced as a result.

STORAGE.

• Batteries should be fully charged before being put into storage.
• Rotate batteries held in stock using the ‘first in, first out’ rule.
• Store in a dry, cool location, in the upright position.
• Disconnect from any equipment to eliminate parasitic loads that may discharge the battery.
• Monitor the specific gravity or voltage every 4-6 weeks and recharge if required.
• Any spillages should be neutralised with a baking soda solution.
• When batteries are taken out of storage, we advise to recharge before use.
