Nominal voltage is 12.8 Volts when fully charged. If the
voltage falls below 12.5V, charge it immediately, or the
battery runs the risk of sulfation.
AGM chargers are designed specifically for charging
AGM type batteries and use high frequency pulses to
partially reverse sulfation.
IMPORTANT
The use of non-AGM battery chargers or non-AGM
battery tenders may result in a misleading "battery not
found" or "open cell" fault message. Please ensure you
are using the recommended AGM charger when
charging AGM type batteries.

AGM BATTERY CHARGING - LOW CHARGE

The nominal voltage for an AGM battery is 12.8 Volts
when fully charged. The battery will self-discharge when
disconnected from a vehicle, and will discharge at a
faster rate when connected. If the battery voltage falls
below 12.5V, it should be charged immediately using the
recommended battery charger. Listed below are the
recommended battery inspection schedules.
• Batteries which are not connected to a vehicle should
be inspected every 60 days. The battery must be
charged if found to be below 12.5 volts.
• Batteries which are connected to a vehicle should be
inspected when they arrive at your dealership and at
least once every month thereafter. The battery must be
charged if found to be below 12.5 volts.
• Showroom vehicles used to demonstrate radio, display
and infotainment features should be charged daily. If
possible, these vehicles should be connected to the
recommended battery charger continuously.
IMPORTANT
Always use the recommended automatic battery
charger, and wait for the charger to complete the
charge cycle before disconnecting it.
