BATTERY CHARGE RELAY CONTROL
Some models are equipped with a battery. The battery provides power for only
two purposes:
• Engaging the electric starter motor to start the engine
• Powering the 7S Display with the ignition key when the engine is off
The engine management system turns on the battery charge relay and charges
the battery only when the following conditions are met:
• The load shed relay is turned on by the engine management system
• Engine speed exceeds 2500 RPM
• Chassis DC voltage exceeds 13 volts
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. If cleaning is
necessary, remove the corrosion with a stiff wire brush and wash with a solution
of one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water. Rinse well with tap water and
dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or
petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.
Never store a battery in a partially charged condition or hard, crystal sulfation will
form on the plates resulting in reduced efficiency and shorter service life of the
battery.
If you do not drive the vehicle for more than TWO weeks, maintain Absorbent
Glass Mat (AGM) batteries with the BatteryMINDer® 2012 AGM - 2 AMP
charger (or a similar charger).

If you plan to store the vehicle for ONE month or longer, remove the battery from
the vehicle and store in a cool, dry location. Batteries will self-discharge more
rapidly when stored in extreme temperatures. Continue to maintain the battery
with a 2-AMP charger and inspect the battery every 60 days.
