Battery 120Ah 12V 950A, aftermarket

For the backhoe loaders and other construction machines: battery 120Ah, an aftermarket part.

This battery is 12 V, 120 Ah with 950 A cold cranking current, a professional series heavy-duty starter battery. On construction machines the battery works under constant vibration and across a wide temperature range, so a sound hold-down and a battery that does not move in its tray are important. Dust and moisture on the battery top cause leakage current between the terminals and slowly discharge it, so wipe the top with a dry cloth. The battery is chosen for the capacity and cold cranking current the machine's electrics need. The battery comes new; check its charge with a voltmeter before first fitting. The carrying handle on the battery top is used for removal and fitting.

Fitting

When removing the battery, disconnect the negative first, then the positive; when fitting, reverse the order: positive first, then negative. This stops a spanner touching earth from causing a short. Clamp the new battery firmly in its tray with the hold-down, since vibration damages the plates of a loose battery. Clean the terminals, tighten the clamps and apply a thin coat of terminal grease.
