	Charging
2	Connect charger to battery	Do not connect the connections with incorrect polarity as this will cause a short circuit. Make sure that the vent hose and the stop plugs of the battery are installed in the correct position, otherwise escaping battery acid will damage the vehicle. Connect positive pole of battery charger to positive pole of battery. Connect the negative terminal of the charger to body ground (2) only (not to the battery negative terminal) so that the battery control unit (N82) (up to 31.5.06) or battery sensor (as of 1.6.06) can detect charging of the battery.
3	Charge battery	Discharged AGM batteries with a voltage below 7 V are not "detected" depending on the charger type, therefore a second charged battery (12 V) must be connected in parallel to the AGM battery before charging. Normal charging:  Charging current max. 10 % of battery capacity: e.g. max. 10 A charging current for a 100 Ah battery. Rapid charging:  Charging current max. 50 % of battery capacity for 30 minutes: e.g. max. 50 A charging current for 100 Ah battery.
4	Disconnect battery charger	Always switch off charger beforehand in order to prevent arcing.
