Operation
The batteries must always be sufficiently
charged so that they achieve their intend-
ed service life.
Have the battery charge status checked
more frequently if you use the vehicle
mainly for short trips or if you leave it
parked up for a long period.
If you intend to leave your vehicle parked
up for a long period, seek advice from an
authorized Sprinter Dealer and switch off
the electrical system at the battery isolat-
ing switch (
e page 164).
Your vehicle may be equipped with two
batteries, depending on the version:
O starter battery in the battery recess in
the driver's footwell
O auxiliary battery in the engine compart-
ment
i The auxiliary battery in the engine compart-
ment is not suitable for jump-starting operations.
Only use the jump-starting connection in the en-
gine compartment if you require jump-starting
assistance or wish to provide jump-starting as-
sistance (
e page 268).
Have the batteries removed at an autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer which has the neces-
sary specialist knowledge and tools to
carry out the work required.
You will find further information in the
"Practical hints" section (e page 265).

G Warning
Risk of explosion. When batteries
are charging, flammable gas is
emitted. Only charge batteries in
well-ventilated areas.
Risk of explosion. Because of the
risk of explosion, avoid creating
sparks from fire, open flames and
smoking.
Battery acid is caustic. Wear acid-
proof protective gloves. Neutralize
splashes of acid on skin or clothing
immediately with soapy water or
acid neutralizer and clean with wa-
ter.
Wear eye protection. When mixing
water and acid, the liquid can
splash in your eyes. Rinse out your
eyes immediately after acid splash-
es with clean water, and consult a
doctor immediately.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Children cannot appreciate the
dangers involved in handling bat-
teries and acid.
When handling batteries, observe
the safety precautions and special
protective measures contained in
these Operating Instructions.
H Environmental note
Batteries contain pollutants. Do
not dispose of old batteries with
the household garbage.
Dispose of batteries in an environ-
mentally responsible manner. Take
batteries to an authorized Sprinter
Dealer or a special collection point
for old batteries.
Transport and store filled batteries
in an upright position. When trans-
porting batteries, secure them so
that they do not tip over. Battery
acid can spill from the cell cap
vents and cause damage to the en-
vironment.
