BATTERY
RECHARGING
IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is given as information only.
You are advised to contact a Fiat
Dealership to have this operation
carried out.
We recommend recharging the battery
slowly for approximately 24 hours at
low amperage. Charging for a longer
time may damage the battery.
To recharge, proceed as follows:
without Start&Stop system:
disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the polarity;
turn on the battery charger;
when it is recharged, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery;
reconnect the terminal to the
negative battery pole.
with Start&Stop system: fig. 166
(for versions/markets, where provided)
disconnect the quick release
negative terminal A from the dummy
negative terminal B; this is because
a battery status monitoring sensor IBS
D is fitted on the negative battery
terminal C and should never be
disconnected except for when the
battery is actually replaced;
connect the positive cable of the
charger to the positive pole E of the
battery and the negative cable to the
dummy negative terminal B;
turn on the battery charger;
when you have recharged, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery;
after disconnecting the charger,
reconnect the negative quick release
negative terminal A from the dummy
pole B.
with Start&Stop (RADSOK) system:
fig. 167
(for versions/markets, where provided)
disconnect the connector A (by
pressing button B) from IBS sensor C
for monitoring the status of the battery
installed on the negative pole D of
the battery itself;
connect the positive cable to the
positive battery terminal E and the
negative terminal to the IBS sensor F as
shown in fig. 167;
turn on the battery charger;
switch the charger off after
recharging;
after having disconnected the
charger, reconnect connector A to IBS
sensor C as shown in fig. 167.
