Recharging the battery
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,

cle was not in use), recharge it by
slow charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.

tion system while the vehicle is
