Electrolyte Filling
Make sure that the model name [A] of the electrolyte con-
tainer matches the model name [B] of the battery. These
names must be the same.
Battery Model Name for ZX1000D: YT12B-BS
CAUTION
Be sure to use the electrolyte container with the
same model name as the battery since the elec-
trolyte volume and specific gravity vary with the
battery type. This is to prevent overfilling of the
electrolyte, shorting the battery life, and deteriora-
tion of the battery performance.
CAUTION
Do not remove the aluminum sealing sheet [A] f rom
the filler ports [B] until just prior to use. Be sure to
use the dedicated electrolyte container for correct
electrolyte volume.
Place the battery on a level surface.
Check to see that the sealing sheet has no peeling, tears,
or holes in it.
Remove the sealing sheet.
NOTE
The battery is vacuum sealed. If the sealing sheet has
leaked air into the battery, it may require a longer initial
charge.
Remove the electrolyte container from the vinyl bag.
Detach the strip of caps [A] from the container and set
aside, these will be used later to seal the battery.
NOTE
Do not pierce or otherwise open the sealed cells [B] of
the electrolyte container. Do not attempt to separate
individual cells.
Place the electrolyte container upside down with the six
sealed cells into the filler ports of the battery. Hold the
container level, push down to break the seals of all six
cells. You will see air bubbles rising into each cell as the
ports fill.
NOTE
Do not tilt the electrolyte container
