WARNING

Batteries where the magic eye is colourless or light yellow must

not be checked or charged. Do not slave/jump start the vehicle!

Danger of explosion when checking and charging or slave/

jump starting

These batteries must be renewed.

Caution

♦ Totally discharged batteries freeze prematurely.

♦ Frozen batteries should no longer be used.

Note

♦ Totally discharged batteries in vehicles before registration

must be exchanged prior to delivery. Preliminary damage can‐

not be excluded.

♦ Batteries that have not been used for a long period of time

discharge themselves, e.g. those fitted in stored vehicles.

♦ In totally discharged batteries, the electrolyte is comprised al‐

most entirely of water because the acid content is so low.

♦ Totally discharged batteries sulphate, that means, the entire

plate surfaces of the battery harden.

♦ If a battery is recharged shortly after it has totally lost its

charge, the sulphation will mostly dissipate.

♦ If these batteries are not recharged, the plates continue to

harden and the ability to recharge is reduced. The result of

which is a reduction in the battery output.

– Check battery no-load voltage ⇒ page 25 .
