For best battery service :
Keep the battery securely mount-
ed.
Keep the battery top clean and dry.

If the vehicle is not going to be used for an extended time, discon-
nect the battery cables. 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 while 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 while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.
Items to be reset after the battery
has been discharged or the bat-tery has been disconnected.
