Battery care and maintenance

In low-maintenance batteries, check the electrolyte level at least once a year. If necessary, top up with distilled water up to the top marking.

The increasing number of electronic control units in the vehicle reduces the self-discharging time of the battery (even in standby mode). To maintain the battery service life and to avoid exhaustive discharging, recharge laid-up vehicles every 6 weeks at the latest. The time for self-discharging depends on vehicle type and equipment specification.
