Charging with low voltages
It is not necessary to disconnect the cables from the battery if you recharge
the vehicle battery, for example from a mini-charger.
Refer to the instructions of the charger manufacturer.
A charging current of 0.1 multiple of the total vehicle battery capacity (or low-
er) must be used until full charging is achieved.
The vent plugs of the vehicle battery should not be opened for charging.
WARNING
When you charge a battery, hydrogen is released, and a highly explosive
■
gas mixture is also produced. An explosion can be caused through sparkling
over during unclamping or loosening of the cable plug while the ignition is
on.
Creating a bridge between the poles on the battery (e.g. with metal ob-
■
jects - cables) creates a short circuit - risk of damage to the battery, explo-
sion and burning of the battery, jets of acid spurting out.
Avoid creating sparks when working with cables and electrical devices.
■
Strong sparking represents a risk of injury.
Before carrying out any work on the electrical system, switch off the en-
■
gine, the ignition and all electrical consumers and disconnect the negative
terminal (-).
"Quick-charging" the vehicle battery is dangerous and requires a special
■
charger and specialist knowledge.
We therefore recommend that vehicle batteries be "rapidly charged" by a
■
specialist garage.
CAUTION
On vehicles with the START/STOP system, the pole terminal of the charger
must not be connected directly to the negative terminal of the vehicle battery,
but only to the engine earth » page
START-STOP system.
