Vehicle Battery Charge - Aston Martin One-77 2010 Owner's Manual

Vehicle Battery Charge

Various systems, for example, the clock, security
systems and Infotainment centre system continue to
drain battery power even with the ignition OFF.
A new fully charged battery has the ability to start this
vehicle, if left unused, for up to 45 days without a
battery conditioner being used.
In cold climates this time may be reduced.
Aston Martin recommend that if this vehicle is to
be left unused for ten (10) days or more a battery
conditioner (mains power available) should be used.
Battery charge can be drained excessively in a number
of ways:
• If the vehicle is unused for long periods of time
• If the vehicle is used regularly but only for short
journeys, e.g. less than 48 km a journey
• If electrical systems are in use without the vehicle
engine running
• If the vehicle key is left in the ignition control for
long periods of time without the engine operating
Excessive battery drain would ultimately mean that the
battery would not be able to start the engine.
Battery Conditioner
(Option)
Warning: Do not attempt to start the vehicle
with a battery conditioner connected to the mains
supply.
Warning: Do not smoke. Prevent flames and
sparks. Explosive gasses are given off by batteries
during charging.
A battery conditioner is designed for
conditioning of partially or fully charged batteries.
It will not effectively charge a discharged battery.
For indoor use only. Disconnect mains supply
before making or breaking battery connections.
The battery conditioner supplied with the vehicle
is suitable for use on all types of 12 volt lead acid
batteries.
If this vehicle is not going to be used for a period of
time, and mains power is available, use a battery
conditioner to maintain the battery charge level.
