Features of the battery design (Renault Logan 1)

The car is equipped with a battery with a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity of 70 Ah. The battery elements are located in a polypropylene monoblock and are covered with a common lid, inseparably connected to the monoblock. There are no plugs in the battery lid, since adding distilled water is not required. Two ventilation holes on the sides of the battery in the upper part provide an outlet for a small amount of gas formed in it.

An electrolyte density indicator can be built into the battery cover, the readings of which take into account the battery temperature. There are three possible indicator readings:

• green dot - battery is charged;
• dark indicator without green dot - battery is partially discharged, engine starting is difficult or impossible;
• transparent or light yellow indicator - excessive decrease in the electrolyte level due to prolonged overcharging of the battery or its natural wear and tear.

Note. Instead of the standard maintenance-free battery, you can install any battery of similar capacity and installation dimensions from other manufacturers. In this case, use and maintain the battery in accordance with the instructions attached to it.
