6.2.2. Removal and installation of the rechargeable battery
The rechargeable battery is in a motive compartment, behind a left headlight.
ATTENTION As a result of a detachment of the rechargeable battery the memories given from some electronic blocks, for example, from memory of malfunctions of a control system of the engine and the transmission, and also anti-blocking system are erased. Before a detachment of the battery it is necessary to consider data of blocks of memory on HUNDRED AUDIS. If these malfunctions are shown as a result of the further movement of the car, they register in memory again.
Automatic equipment of power windows after connection of the rechargeable battery has to become more active again.
Serially installed radio receivers have so security blocking. It interferes with unauthorized use of the device if its power supply was interrupted. Power supply is interrupted not only at a detachment of the rechargeable battery, and also at removal of the radio receiver or if the radio receiver safety lock failed.
If the radio receiver is coded, before shutdown of the rechargeable battery it is necessary to establish a radio tape recorder code. If the code is not known, the radio receiver can be switched on on HUNDRED AUDIS, address also
the subsection Input of a Code of the Radio Receiver.
Before shutdown of the rechargeable battery write down settings of the radio transmitters which are written down in memory.
If the battery is supposed to be replaced:
– Whenever possible, use the modern rechargeable battery with the central gas outlet. At the same time the gases which are formed in batteries are taken away through a hose.
| | 1 - at service of the accumulator it is necessary to follow the rules according to safety measures stated in the operation manual.
2 – in the accumulator there is a corroding acid and it is necessary to be careful that acid did not spill from the accumulator.
3 – do not use naked flame about the accumulator.
4 – during the work with the accumulator use goggles.
5 – you keep the accumulator in the place inaccessible for children.
6 – at utilization hand over the accumulator only in points intended for this purpose.
7 – do not throw out the accumulator together with household garbage.
8 – the gases emitted at accumulator charging are explosive |

Acquisition of the new rechargeable battery
Probably, the most important what the buyer has to pay attention to, are characteristics of the accumulator. They are three. The first – rated voltage, it at all batteries identical, and it is impossible to be mistaken. Upon purchase it is desirable to check the accumulator a load fork. The second – the capacity measured in ampere/hours (And / h), means, roughly speaking, the quantity of the electric power which is kept in the accumulator. Depends on capacity as it is long possible to twist a starter the engine, more precisely – how many it is possible to make attempts of start of the engine. The price of the accumulator is almost directly proportional to its capacity. And the third characteristic – starting current (it is measured in amperes. A), i.e. the current given on a starter during start-up. On accumulators it can be specified on four different systems: GOST (on domestic), EN (the standard of Uniform Europe), SAE (the American standard) and DIN. The last, German standard, is closest to our state standard specification and on the majority of the European is put "by default" i.e. when the system of the standard is not specified. The it is more, the quicker and with a bigger force the starter will turn the engine.
It is better if you buy the accumulator with those characteristics which are specified in the maintenance instruction of your car: so it will serve to you longer at the minimum expenses. It is possible to save and buy the accumulator of smaller capacity, but it will serve you less usual term and it is bad to cope with winter start. Having bought the battery even not much more to bigger capacity, you will not win in service life since constant недозаряд the accumulator will lead to sulphation of plates, and will lose in money. It is not necessary to be fond of the raised starting current also: you will burn a starter. Replace oil in the engine better, and problems with start will not be.
Lately the market of the country is overflowed with low-quality goods and fakes. Accumulators are not an exception. There are several signs on which it is possible with a sufficient accuracy to distinguish the original from a fake. The first and, perhaps, main thing: on the accumulator the country manufacturer and the releasing plant have to be surely specified, it is better if with the address. The second – date of production has to be specified that is very important if the accumulator which is filled in. Technical data sheet has to be attached to each battery, and here existence of the instruction is optional. It is connected with what in the West accumulators almost do not sell at retail, they are installed by experts at service stations. The third – the high-quality accumulator is inconceivable without the high-quality case, good traffic jams and smooth output plugs which are quite often greased with technical protective lubricant from oxidation and covered from above with color plastic caps.
