Battery Recharging

 


  • Before performing maintenance or recharging the battery, turn off all accessories and stop the engine.

  • To disconnect the battery, remove the negative lead first. Install it last when connecting the battery.

  • Be sure to remove the caps before recharging the battery.

  • Do not quick-charge the battery.

  • If the battery quickly discharges because, for example, the lights were left on too long with the engine off, slow-charge it as required by battery size and charger capacity.

  • If the battery gradually discharges because of high electric load while the vehicle is being used, recharge it as required by battery size and charger capacity.
