Battery Recharging; Servicing Procedures - Jeep Renegade Owner's Handbook Manual

BATTERY
RECHARGING
IMPORTANT
After placing the ignition device to
STOP and having closed the driver side
door, wait at least one minute before
disconnecting the electrical supply from
the battery. When reconnecting the
electrical supply to the battery, make
sure that the ignition device is in the
STOP position and the driver side door
is closed.
Charging should be slow at a low
ampere rating for approximately 24
hours. Charging for a longer time may
damage the battery.
The cables of the electrical system
must be correctly reconnected to the
battery, i.e. the positive cable (+) to the
positive terminal and the negative cable
(–) to the negative terminal. The battery
terminals are marked with the positive
(+) and negative (–) symbols, and are
shown on the battery cover. The battery
terminals must also be corrosion-free
and firmly secured to the terminals. If a
"quick-type" battery charger is used
with the battery fitted on the vehicle,
before connecting it disconnect both
cables of the battery itself. Do not use a
"quick-type" battery charger to provide
the starting voltage.
VERSIONS WITHOUT
STOP/START SYSTEM
To recharge, proceed as follows:
disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the polarity;
turn on the charger;
when it is recharged, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery;
reconnect the negative battery
terminal.
VERSIONS WITH
STOP/START SYSTEM
To recharge, proceed as follows:
disconnect the connector A
fig 181 (pressing the button B) from the
sensor C monitoring the battery
conditions, on the negative pole (–) D of
the battery;
connect the positive cable (+) of the
battery charger to the positive battery
terminal E and the negative cable (–) to
sensor terminal D as shown;
turn on the battery charger. At the
end of the charging process, switch the
battery charger off;
after having disconnected the
charger, reconnect connector A to the
sensor C as in fig 181.
