16.3 Charging the 12-V battery
Warning
Risk of injury 12 V batteries contain harmful substances.
– Keep 12 V batteries out of the reach of children.
– Keep sparks and open flames away from 12 V batteries.
– Only charge 12 V batteries in well-ventilated rooms.
– Maintain a minimum clearance from inflammable materials when charging 12 V batteries.
Minimum clearance 1 m (3 ft)
– Do not charge deeply discharged 12 V batteries if the charge is already below the minimum voltage.
Minimum voltage before the start of the charge 9 V
– Dispose of 12 V batteries with less than the minimum voltage correctly.
Note
Environmental hazard 12 V batteries contain environmentally hazardous materials.
– Do not dispose of 12 V batteries as household waste.
– Dispose of 12 V batteries at a collection point for used batteries.
Info
Even when there is no load on the 12-V battery, it discharges steadily each day.
The charging level and the method of charging are very important for the service life of the 12-V battery.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the service life of the battery.
If the charging current, charging voltage, or charging time is exceeded, the 12 V battery will be destroyed.
When the 12-V battery has been discharged (blink code 44 on the vehicle), recharge the 12-V battery
immediately.
If the 12-V battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become deeply discharged
and suffer a loss of capacity, destroying the battery.
The 12-V battery is maintenance-free.
Info
The 12-V battery is recharged by the Powerpack HV when operating the vehicle.
When the Powerpack HV is recharged in the vehicle, then the 12-V battery is also recharged.
Preparatory work
– Deactivate the vehicle. ( p. 43)
– Fold the seat up. ( p. 69)
– Remove the 12-V battery. ( p. 98)
