Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
If you wish to charge your vehicle's battery
yourself, use only a charger compatible
with lead-acid batteries with a nominal
voltage of 12 V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.

cable to the (-) terminal of backup battery
B or the booster (or an earth point on the
other vehicle).

cable to earth point C on the broken down
vehicle.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:

several weeks.
