Battery Recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free, calcium-based
battery.
•
If the battery becomes discharged in a short time
(headlights or interior lights were left on while the
vehicle was not in use), recharge it by slow (trickle)
charging 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.
