LR3/Disco 3
The battery incorporates an integral, temperature compensated hydrometer to provide a visual indication of the relative
density and level of the electrolyte. The indicator shows different colours to show battery condition as follows:
GREEN – shows that the battery is charged and in a serviceable condition
DARK (turning to black) – shows that the battery is in a low state of charge and requires recharging
CLEAR or YELLOW – the battery is no longer serviceable and must be replaced.
If the battery shows CLEAR or YELLOW the battery has an internal fault. Do not attempt to charge or jump-start the
vehicle with the battery in this condition.
When removing the battery, ensure that the alarm is disarmed and that the ignition is switched off. Always disconnect the
negative terminal first and then the positive terminal. When refitting the battery, always fit the positive terminal first
followed by the negative terminal.
If the battery requires recharging, always use an approved constant current charger, designed for lead-calcium batteries.
DO NOT use a fast charger, permanent damage to the battery may occur.
Delivery Mode
The vehicle is fitted with a transit relay. This is a disposable device and NOT for use by the customer. This relay fits in
series with the battery and ground; it disconnects the battery from the vehicle's ground and thus eliminates quiescent
current during delivery. The relay must be removed before delivery to the customer.
