Information

A battery charger is required.
Read operating instructions for the battery charger.
The battery must have a minimum temperature of 0°C.
If possible, do not rapid-charge batteries as this can damage them.
If exhaustively discharged batteries are charged quickly, they will not take up a charge current or they will be identified too early as full due to the so-called "surface charge".

NOTE: A battery charger for providing an external power supply or for jump-lead starting is connected directly to the battery in the vehicle.

Damage to battery sensor.
Battery sensor sends incorrect battery values to the vehicle electrical system.
→ Always connect a battery charger for providing an external power supply or for jump-lead starting to the defined connections in the engine compartment.
