Battery recharging

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

tions:

reserve
from the vehicle and placed in
