When charging the starter battery with an external charger, proceed as fol-
lows:
Turn off the vehicle engine.
Switch off the 12 V power supply on the panel. The indicator lamps or the
displays on the panel go out.
Switch off all gas appliances, all gas isolator taps and close the regulator
tap on the gas bottle.
Disconnect the starter battery from the vehicle (e.g. remove the battery ter-
minals). There is a danger of short circuit when disconnecting the battery
poles. For this reason, first disconnect the negative terminal on the starter
battery and then the positive.
Check that the external charger is turned off.
Connect the external charger to the starter battery. Pay attention to the
polarity: First connect the positive terminal "+" to the positive terminal of the
starter battery, then connect the negative terminal "–" to the negative pole
of the starter battery.
Switch on the external charger.
See the instructions for use of the connected charger for information con-
cerning charge period required for the battery.
See the specifications on the battery for information concerning its
strength.
Disconnect the charger in reverse order (the negative terminal first).
Connect the battery terminals again (first the positive terminal).

If there are several living area batteries, always change all the batteries
together. The batteries must
always
be the same age and have the same
capacity.

When changing the living area battery, use only batteries which meet the
minimum capacity of the charger. Observe the separate instruction manual
for the charger. Lower-capacity batteries will generate a great deal of heat
when they are charged. Danger of explosion!

If the living area battery is replaced and the charging unit does not provide
at least 10 % of the rating of a new battery, install an auxiliary charging unit.
Example: With a battery capacity of 80 Ah, the charging unit must supply
at least 8 A charging current.
