Batteries
The Mini Crosser uses sealed, maintenance-free GEL batteries
(Exide 12 V/56 Ah or AGM 12 V/71 Ah).
They do not generate gas and do not have to be topped up with
water.
Charging
Please NOTE that the Mini Crosser can be equipped with
several types of charger (ask your dealer for information on the
various types).
IMPORTANT! Only ever use a charger designed for charging
dry maintenance-free batteries. The max. charging current is
12 A.
If charging is to take place outdoors, an enclosed charger
without a fan should be chosen.
The battery manufacturer recommends charging the batteries at
temperatures b10° and +30°C in order to achieve the
charging times specifi ed in “Technical data”.
Charging will take longer at temperatures below +20°C. This is
because the battery fi nds it more diffi cult chemically to absorb
the current.
Please NOTE that the capacity of the batteries will reduce
over time and at low temperatures. In practice this means that
vehicles with old batteries have a shorter driving distance than
they had when the batteries were new.
Battery capacity at -10°C is about half the equivalent capacity at
+20°C.
Avoid draining the batteries completely. We recommend
charging the batteries in a heated room. If it is not possible to
do this every day, it is a good idea to charge the Mini Crosser in
a heated room (approx. 20°C) once a week.
