Battery

Battery care

There may be two different types of battery.

They are fully interchangeable with each other.

The service life and function of the battery is

influenced by factors such as the number of

starts, discharging, driving style, driving con-

ditions and climatic conditions.

For the battery to function satisfactorily:

• Regularly check that the electrolyte level is

correct (A) and never fill above the level

mark.

• Check all cells. Use a screwdriver to re-

move the cell caps (or the cover).

• If necessary, top up with distilled water to

the battery’s maximum mark.

• Fit the cell caps (or the cover) firmly.

IMPORTANT

Always use distilled or deionised water (bat-

tery water).

NOTE

An expended battery must be recycled in an

environmentally responsible manner as it

contains lead.

WARNING

Batteries can generate oxyhydrogen gas,

which is highly explosive. A spark, which

can be generated if you connect the jump

leads incorrectly, is sufficient to make the

battery explode. The battery also contains

sulphuric acid, which can cause serious

burns. If the acid comes into contact with

eyes, skin or clothing, flush with large quan-

tities of water. If acid splashes into the eyes,

seek medical advice immediately.

NOTE

The life of the battery is shortened if it be-

comes discharged repeatedly
