Battery Recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free, calcium-
based battery.
• If the battery becomes discharged in a short
time (because, for example, the headlights or
interior lights were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow charging (trickle)
for 10hours.
• If the battery gradually discharges because of
high electric load while the vehicle is being used,
recharge it at 20-30A for two hours.

• The battery must be removed from the
vehicle and placed in an area with good
ventilation.
• Do not allow cigarettes, sparks, or flame
near the battery.
• Watch the battery during charging, and
stop or reduce the charging rate if the
battery cells begin gassing (boiling)
violently or if the temperature of the
electrolyte of any cell exceeds 120°F
(49°C).
• Wear eye protection when checking the
