Most motor vehicle manufacturers recommend that the battery should be disconnected from
the vehicles electrical system before being charged. We would like to point out that even standard
vehicles are fitted with a whole host of electronic equipment (such as ABS, ASR, injection pump and
on-board computer). Any voltage peaks that occur may cause defects in these electronic modules.
Therefore the battery should be disconnected from the electrical system before being charged.
Please also refer to the instructions in the owner’s manuals for the car, radio, navigation system,
etc.
Proceed as follows to change the battery.
2.1. Release or remove the battery stoppers (if fitted) from the battery.
2.2. Check the acid level in the battery. If necessary, top up the battery with distilled water (if
possible). Important. Battery acid is aggressive. Rinse off any acid splashes thoroughly with lots of
water and seek medical advice if necessary.!
2.3. First connect the red charging cable to the positive pole of the battery. Then connect the black
charging cable to the bodywork of the vehicle away from the battery and the petrol pipe.
