battery capacity MITSUBISHI L200 2014 Owner's Manual (in English)

CAUTIONlWhen the cigarette lighter socket is used
as a power source for an electric appli-
ance, be sure that the electric appliance
operates at 12 V and has an electric ca-
pacity of 120 W or less. In addition, long
use of the electric appliance without run-
ning the engine may run down the battery.Accessory socket* E00711601160
The accessory socket can be used while the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.
Open the cap (A) to uncover the socket. Use it to
plug in an electrical device.
Type 1Type 2
CAUTIONl When you connect an electrical device,
make sure it is rated at 12 V and its elec-
trical capacity does not exceed 120 W. Re-
member that prolonged use of an electri-
cal device with the engine off could run
down the battery.
l When the accessory socket is not in use,
be sure to close the cap, because the sock-
et might become clogged by foreign mate-
rial and be short-circuited.
NOTE
l Long use of the electric appliance without run-
ning the engine may run down the battery.
Especially avoid using it with the cigarette
lighter.

BatteryE01001202144
The condition of the battery is very important for
quick starting of the engine and proper functioning
of the vehicle’s electrical system. Regular inspec-
tion and care are especially important in cold weath-
er.
NOTE l On vehicles equipped with 2 batteries, when
the batteries are replaced, the 2 batteries
should be replaced at the same time.
If only a battery is replaced, it will cause short-
ening the batteries life.
Checking battery electrolyte level
The electrolyte level must be between the specified
limit on the outside of the battery. Replenish with
distilled water as necessary.
The inside of the battery is divided into several com-
partments; remove the cap from each compartment
and fill to the upper mark. Do not top up beyond
the upper mark because spillage during driving
could cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once every 4
weeks, depending on the operating conditions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge by itself
with time.
Check it once every 4 weeks and charge with low
current as necessary.
During cold weather
The capacity of the battery is reduced at low tem-
peratures. This is an inevitable result of its chemi-
cal and physical properties.
This is why a very cold battery, particularly one
that is not fully charged, will only deliver a fraction
of the starter current which is normally available.
We recommend you to have the battery checked be-
fore the start of cold weather and, if necessary,
have it charged or replaced.
This does not only ensure reliable starting, but a bat-
tery which is kept fully charged also has a longer life.
Disconnection and connection
To disconnect the battery cable, stop the engine,
first disconnect the negative (-) terminal and then
the positive (+) terminal.
When connecting the battery, first connect the posi-
tive (+) terminal and then the negative (-) terminal.
NOTE l Open the terminal cover (A) before discon-
necting or connecting the positive (+) termi-
nal of the battery.Type 1Type 2
WARNINGl Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away
from the battery because the battery
could explode.
