Battery Charging
It is now possible to jump start the car, or place the bat
tery on charge. Both of these procedures are explained
in the following sections:
Jump Starting
Battery Charging Procedure
NOTE: When the discharged Cerbera battery is con
nected to a slave battery or charger the alarm and
immobliser will activate. Follow standard alarm deac
tivation procedure outlined in the Cerbera Handbook
to deactivate the alarm and immobliser.
Jump starting procedure
To jump start the Cerbera the following procedure
should be followed:
Positive lead to Positive Terminal
of Discharged Battery
Second Car or Fully Charged
Slave Battery
Negative Lead to
a Good Earth
( Engine)
Discharged Cerbera
Car Battery

l.
The vehicles must be parked so that the jump leads
will reach both batteries, alternatively a fully charged
booster battery may be placed on the floor adjacent to
the vehicle.

After checking
that
the ignition and any other elec
trical accessories are switched off, and that the car is in
neuh·al with the parking brake applied, connect the
leads as follows:
A) One end of the first
jumper cable connect to the
pos
itive
(+)
terminal of the booster battery.
B) The other end of the first jumper cable connect to the
positive
(+)
terminal of the discharged battery. (This is
the only terminal that is accessible whilst the battery
remains in
the
Cerbera).
C) Connect one end of the second cable to the negative
terminal of the booster

e
ry.
D)
Connect the other end of the second jumper cable to
the engine to create the negative connection.
WARNING: T he final cable connection could cause
arcing at the connection point, which if near battery
could cause an explosion.

3)
If the booster battery is connected to another vehicle
start the engine and allow it to idle.
4)
Start the engine of the Cerbera using the normal pro-.
cedure.
5)
Remove negative
(
- ) jumper cable.
6)
Finally remove the positive
(+)
jumper cable from
positive terminals of both the booster battery and dis
charged battery, ensuring that the ends do not touch the
negative terminals and create
a
short circuit.
NOTE: To avoid having to perform this procedure
again it is advised not to turn the engine off until a
sufficient charge has been built up in the battery to
allow the car to be started under it's own power, or
until the vehicle is in a position where it is possible to
fully charge the battery from a mains charger.
Charging the battery
To charge the battery the procedure for connection of the
leads is similar to that of jump starting, it is as follows.
12
