Battery care and maintenance
Safety instructions for handling vehicle battery.
Electrolyte level of present low-maintenance batteries should be checked at least annually and corrected to max. mark
(specified by battery supplier) with distilled water when necessary.
Due to the increasing number of control units used in vehicles today, discharging by the power consumption of control
units even in standby mode is added to the natural self-discharging of a battery. In order to achieve the battery service
life and to avoid total discharging, recharge the batteries of stored vehicles at the latest every 6 weeks (refer to battery
recharging schedule). The time for self-discharging depends on vehicle model and equipment.
