3. Configuración e activación

The Yuasa YTX20L-BS battery is supplied dry with a separate acid pack. It must be filled with electrolyte and allowed to stand before initial use. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Preparación: Place the battery on a level surface. Ensure you are in a well-ventilated area and wearing appropriate safety gear (gloves, eye protection).
2. Remove Seal: Carefully remove the sealing strip from the top of the battery. Do not discard this strip.
3. Prepare Acid Pack: Take the acid pack and remove the cap strip. Do not pierce or cut the individual acid containers.
4. Fill Battery: Invert the acid pack and align the sealed sections with the battery's fill holes. Push down firmly so the seals are broken and the acid begins to flow into the battery cells.
5. Allow to Fill: Ensure all acid drains from the pack into the battery. This may take up to 20 minutes. Do not remove the acid pack until it is completely empty.
6. Seal Battery: Once empty, carefully remove the acid pack. Immediately and firmly press the sealing strip (removed in step 2) back onto the battery's fill holes. Ensure it is securely seated.
7. Tempo de espera: Allow the battery to stand for at least 1 hour after filling. This allows the electrolyte to be fully absorbed by the AGM separators and for the battery to stabilize. For optimal performance, a longer stand time (e.g., 2-3 hours) or a slow charge is recommended before first use.
8. Initial Charge (Recommended): Although the battery is typically 80% charged after activation, an initial charge with a suitable battery charger (1.8 Amps for 5-10 hours) is recommended for maximum performance and lifespan.
