Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
• If the battery becomes discharged in
a short time (because, for example,
the headlights or interior lights were
left on while the vehicle was not in
use), recharge it by slow charging
(trickle) for 10 hours.
• If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge it
at 20-30A for two hours.
