Battery Rules:
WARNINGS:
For vehicles fitted with non-sealed
batteries (non-maintenance free), it is
essential that regular checks are made
to determine that the electrolyte (acid)
levels are correctly maintained.
When charging, ensure the battery
charger is securely connected to the
vehicle ground and not to the battery
negative terminal. This is to ensure that
the BMS identifies the battery charge.
•
For external charging of batteries ensure that
the maximum voltage of 14.6V is not exceeded.
