1- disconnect negative (-) terminal of the
battery
2- disconnect positive (+) terminal of the
battery
3- Open the holder or fastener of the
battery and dismantle it.

- The battery terminals and clamps of the
battery cables should be clean. Disconnect
them and clean the sediments.
- Never disconnect battery when the
engine is on.
- Charge the battery only when its cables
are disconnected.
- If your vehicle is not going to be driven
for a long term (one month or longer),
disconnect its cables.
Caution
Make sure the voltage of both
batteries to be equal (12 V). Leads
should have insulated clamps which
are suitable for being used with 12
Volt batteries.
If your vehicle is not going to be
driven for a long term, disconnect its
cables and charge the battery every
4 weeks.
Since the vehicle's start is 12 volt,
using a 24 volt battery or two 12 volt
batteries will damage the vehicle's
electrical systems. So only a 12 volt
battery should be used as an auxiliary
battery.
- Final voltage of the 12 volt charged
battery will be equal to 14.10 – 14.40.
Crimping Tool Battery (red) must
always be connected to the positive
pole. To avoid damage to the
alternator, alternator should never be
disconnected from the battery.
