Maintenance
Battery recharging by battery
charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes dischargedin a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while the vehicle 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.
Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) bat- teries are maintenance-free and
we recommend that the AGM bat-
tery be serviced by an authorized
K900 Kia dealer. For charging your
AGM battery, use only fully auto-
matic battery chargers that are
specially developed for AGM bat-
teries.
When replacing the AGM battery, we recommend that you use parts
for replacement from an authorized
K900 Kia dealer.
Battery recharging by vehicle
After a jump start from a good bat-
tery, run the engine for 20-30 min-
utes at idle or driving the vehicle
before it is shutoff. Vehicle may not
restart if you shut it off before the
battery had chance to adequately
recharge.
When recharging the battery,
observe the following precautions:
The battery must be removed fromthe vehicle and placed in an area
with good ventilation.
Do not allow cigarettes, sparks, or flame near the battery.
Watch the battery during charging, and stop or reduce the charging
rate if the battery cells begin
gassing (boiling) violently or if the
temperature of the electrolyte of
any cell exceeds 120°F (49°C).
Wear eye protection when check- ing the battery during charging.
AGM battery(if equipped)
Do not open or remove the cap
on top of the battery. This may
cause leaks of internal elec-
trolyte that could result in
severe injury.
