Only charge the battery in a well-ventilated
area. As the battery is being charged, gases
can escape and generate minor explosions.

cause damage to the paintwork or acid cor-
rosion on the vehicle.

You can obtain information about battery
chargers which allow the battery to be
charged when still installed from a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.

escape from the battery. Do not lean over
