Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-
free, calcium-based battery
If the battery becomes discharged
in a short time (because, for
example, the headlights or inte-
rior lights were left on whilst the
vehicle was not in use), recharge it
by slow charging (trickle) for 10
hours.
If the battery gradually dis-
charges because of high electric
load whilst the vehicle is being
used, recharge it at 20 ~ 30 A for
two hours.
