Practical Tips, Emergency Service

Charge state

A well charged battery will not only prevent start-

ing problems but will also last longer.

In order to avoid discharging the battery

unintentionally:
f Switch off unnecessary electrical loads in city

traffic, on short trips or in a line or traffic.

f Always remove the ignition key from the igni-

tion lock when leaving the car.

f Avoid using the Porsche Online Pro when the

engine is not running.

Battery charging
Automotive batteries loose their efficiency when

not in use.

We recommend that the battery voltage be tested

by your Porsche dealer who has the appropriate

equipment.
If the car is not driven for prolonged periods, the

battery must be charged at least every 2 months.

A discharged battery allows rapid formation of sul-

fates, leading to premature deterioration of the

plates.
f Please observe the chapter “CONNECTING

THE TRICKLE CHARGER” on Page 164.

Danger!

Hydrogen gas generated by the battery

could cause an explosion, resulting in severe

personal injuries.
f Charge battery in a well ventilated area.
f Never charge a frozen battery. It may explode

because of gas trapped in the ice. Allow a fro-

zen battery to thaw out first.

f If you get electrolyte, which is an acid, in your

eyes or on your skin, immediately rinse with

cold water for several minutes and call a doc-

tor.

Slow battery charging

Caution!

Risk of damage, if the charger is not

connected to the jump lead starting points

provided.
f Do not use carbon fiber parts, surfaces, or

running-gear parts as the ground conductor.

Only connect the charger to the jump lead

starting points provided.

1. Pay attention to all warnings and follow instruc-

tions that come with your battery charger.

2. When charging, ensure adequate ventilation.
3. Ensure that charger is switched off – danger of

short circuit!

4. The ground isolating plug must be plugged in.
5. Connect charger cables to the jump lead start-

ing points.

Charger cables must be connected

POSITIVE (+) to POSITIVE (+) and

NEGATIVE (–) to NEGATIVE (–).

Please observe the chapter “EMERGENCY

STARTING WITH JUMPER CABLES” on

Page 167.

6. Switch on charger.

Normally, a battery should be charged at no

more than 10 percent of its rated capacity.

Rated capacity of the battery in your vehicle is

listed on the battery housing.

7. After charging, turn off charger and disconnect

charger cables in reverse order.
