Battery — charging (Peugeot 305)

1. Under normal conditions, the battery should be kept charged by the alternator. The need to frequently charge the battery from an external source indicates a faulty battery or generator, or that the battery charge is being lost due to a short circuit.

2. A battery that has not been used for a long time should be recharged every 6-8 weeks.

3. Disconnect the battery from the vehicle's electrical system. It is advisable to remove it completely from the car before connecting it to the charger.

4. The charging rate should not exceed 1/10 of the battery's capacity (in Ah). This results in a charging rate of 3-6 Ah, which is what most chargers provide.

5. Connect the charger to the battery, observing the polarity ("+" to "+" and to "-") and turn on the charger. The charger must be turned off before disconnecting the battery from it. Make sure the room where you are charging is well ventilated.

6. Fast charging of the battery should be avoided. When a sealed battery is rapidly charged, it may explode due to the accumulation of gases inside it. Any battery can be damaged by overheating caused by charging too quickly.
