WARNING | The battery plugs must be screwed in tightly when charging, measuring voltage or performing load tests. |
|
Note | t
| Smoking or the use of naked lights are not allowed in rooms in which batteries are being charged. The reason for this is, that when batteries are charged gases are produced which are highly flammable. |
| t
| Precision tools should be kept well away from such rooms. The reason for this is, that when batteries are charged the air in the room reacts chemically and this causes corrosion. |
| Special tools and workshop equipment required |
| t
| Batteries should be charged using a V.A.G battery charging unit e.g.-V.A.G 1471-, -V.A.G 1648- or -V.A.G 1974-. |
Note | t
| The battery charging unit must always be switched off before a battery is to be connected to the charging unit. |
| t
| Before charging a battery it must have a temperature of min. 10 °C. |
| t
| Batteries should be charged using a V.A.G battery charging unit e.g.-V.A.G 1471-, -V.A.G 1648- or -V.A.G 1974-. |
| t
| Adhere to the points for no load voltage and electrolyte density if the battery is to be used again in the vehicle. |
