• Turn the charger on and follow the
instructions on its user manual to
completely recharge the battery.
• When the battery is recharged,
turn off the battery charger before
disconnecting it from the battery.
• Disconnect first the terminal clamp
of the charger black cable from the
battery and then the terminal clamp
of the red cable.
• Reassemble the protection cover on
the battery positive post and the
lateral side covers and the luggage
compartment container.
Maintaining Battery Charge
If you perform short daily trips
(approximately 10 miles/16 km),
which correspond to an annual total
of 4000 miles/6000 km, or when the
vehicle is not going to be used for one
week or more, Maserati recommends
connecting the vehicle to a battery
charger, to save you the trouble of
having to recharge the battery. The
battery charger will keep the battery
charged properly and at the correct
voltage levels required by the systems
and devices in the vehicle.
Before using the battery charger,
carefully follow the instructions
provided.
If you do not use a battery charger
to prevent the battery from going
flat when you are not going to use
the vehicle for long periods of time,
you need to check and recharge the
battery at least once every three
weeks. Make this check if you perform
short daily trips (approximately 10
mi/16 km) which correspond to an
annual total of 4000 miles/6000 km.
Please note that allowing the battery
to go flat repeatedly can cause
premature wear on the internal cells
and greatly reduce their life, leading
to problems with the ignition system
and other electrical/electronic systems.
The Authorized Maserati Dealer is
available to advise you on how to
recharge your battery correctly and
give you useful information on battery
care and maintenance.
NOTE:
The Authorized Maserati Dealer can
provide you with any information
about the Maserati approved "Battery
Charger and Conditioner", available in
the "Genuine Accessories" range.
WARNING!
The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a
dangerous gas that can explode and
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all times:
•
always charge or recharge the
battery in a well-ventilated
environment;
•
never charge or recharge a battery
that has frozen.
•
ensure that any sparks or open
flames are nowhere near the battery
while it is charging;
•
before using a charger to charge or
maintain the battery charge status,
carefully follow the instructions
provided to ensure the charger is
connected to the battery safely and
correctly.
