Maintenance
Vehicle Battery Charge
Various systems, for example, the clock, security systems and
Infotainment centre system continue to drain battery power even
with the ignition OFF.
A new fully charged battery has the ability to start this vehicle, if left
unused, for up to 45 days without a battery conditioner being used.
In cold climates this time may be reduced.
Aston Martin recommend that if this vehicle is to be left unused
for ten (10) days or more a battery conditioner (mains power
available) should be used.
Battery charge can be drained excessively in a number of ways:
• If the vehicle is unused for long periods of time.
• If the vehicle is used regularly but only for short journeys, e.g. less
than 30 miles a journey.
• If electrical systems are in use without the vehicle engine running.
• If the vehicle key is left in the ignition control for long periods of
time without the engine operating.
Excessive battery drain would ultimately mean that the battery would
not be able to start the engine.
Battery Conditioner
Optional
Warning: Do not attempt to start the vehicle with a battery
conditioner connected to the mains supply.
Warning: Do not smoke. Prevent flames and sparks. Explosive
gasses are given off by batteries during charging.
A battery conditioner is designed for conditioning of partially
or fully charged batteries. It will not effectively charge a
discharged battery.
For indoor use only. Disconnect mains supply before making
or breaking battery connections.
The Aston Martin battery conditioner (option) is suitable for use
on all types of 12 volt lead acid batteries.
If this vehicle is not going to be used for a period of time, and mains
power is available, use a battery conditioner to maintain the battery
charge level.
When connected the battery conditioner will maintain a small trickle
charge to keep the battery in a fully charged state. The battery
conditioner may be left in this state indefinitely.
