NOTICE
Improper charging can damage the
battery and built-in battery charger.
Do not charge in a place ex-

posed to direct sunlight or near
your vehicle a heater.
Do not charge when there is risk

of thunderstorms or lightning.
Electrical surges could cause
damage.
Do not use the AC outlet of a car

or generator for charging the
battery as this could cause a
malfunction.
Park the vehicle on a flat, stable sur-
face near a grounded electrical outlet
with residual-current device (RCD) pro-
tection. The area must be dry and, if
necessary, sheltered to prevent rain
water or other moisture from wetting
the vehicle, charging cord, or outlet.
The environment affects the duration
of battery charging. For optimum
charging, charge the battery out of di-
rect sunlight in an ambient tempera-
ture of 15 C – 25 C.
TIP
ECA17451
Although charging between 15 C – 25 C
provides the best results, the battery can
be charged within an ambient tempera-
ture range of –5 C – 50 C. A depleted
battery cannot be charged if ambient tem-
perature is below 0 C.
Examples of recommended charg-
ing locations
A cool, shaded and well-ventilated
place.
A place that does not fall below –5 C
overnight.
