charged each time the VCI is connected to the vehicle.
If it is necessary to replace the VCI battery because the battery is faulty, then
follow the procedure below:
1. Disconnect the VCI from the vehicle and DAVIE XDc II.
2. Remove the battery plug by turning the plug counter clockwise with a big
screwdriver.
3. To remove the battery, turn the VCI around and clap the complete VCI with
the open battery tray against your palm. Now the battery will unplug itself
and you can remove it easily.
4. Put the new battery with the green connector first into the battery
compartment. The plug will slide in the compartment by an easy push.
