A discharged battery can freeze at tempera­
tures of on ly 32 °F (0 °C). A llow a frozen bat­
tery to thaw completely befo re attempt ing to
cha rge it~ &. . H owever, we recommend not
using a thawed battery again because the bat­
tery casing can be cracked due to ice forma ­
tion and can leak battery acid.
Battery charging (Maximum charging rate
of
30 amps/14.8 Volt)
When charging at low voltages (e.g . with a
trickle charger ), the battery cables do not
have to be d isconnected first. The battery
caps should
not be opened when charging a
battery .
It is not necessary to remove the battery from
the luggage compartment.
Fast charging the battery (charging rate
above 14.8 Volts )
For technical reasons do not use a battery
charger that uses voltage greater than 14.8
Volts to charge your vehicle's battery.
.&_ WARNING
Charging a battery can be dangerous. -
Always follow the operating instructions
provided by the battery charger manu­
facturer when charging your battery.
- Never charge a frozen battery. It may ex­
plode because of gas trapped in the ice.
Allow a frozen battery to thaw out first.
- Do not reuse batteries wh ich were fro­
zen. The battery housing may have
cracked and weakened when the battery
froze.
- Charge the battery in a well ventilated
area. Keep away from open flame or elec­
tr ica l spark. Do not smoke. Hydrogen gas
generated by the battery is explosive.
- To reduce the danger of explosion, never
connect or disconnect charger cab les
while the charger is ope rat ing.
- Fast charging a battery is dangerous and
should only be attempted by a compe­
tent technician with the proper equip­
ment.
- Battery acid that may spill dur ing charg­
ing should be washed off with a solution
of warm wat er and baking soda to neu­
tralize the acid.
(I) Note
Never use a fast charger as a booster to
start the engine. This will seriously dam­
age sensitive electronic components, such
as contro l units, re lays, radio, etc., as well
as the battery charger.
Battery replacement
The new battery must have the same specifi ­
cations and dimensions as the original equip ­
ment battery.

cle is responsible for distributing the electri­
ca l energy throughout your vehicle

ment system will keep the engine battery
charged better then vehicles without this sys­
tem . To make sure the additional electrical en­
