Battery recharging

Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
• If the battery becomes discharged
over a short time (because, for ex-
ample, the headlights or interior
lights were left on while the vehicle
was not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
• If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electrical load
while the vehicle is being used, re-
charge it at 20-30A for two hours.
