GENERAL INFORMATION

In the winter on the storage battery especially big loading falls. Besides, at low temperatures the battery gives at engine start-up only a part of that capacity which it has at positive temperature. Therefore we recommend to check before the beginning of a winter season the storage battery and if necessary дозарядить it.

If the car at very hard frosts for several weeks is not maintained, it is necessary to remove the storage battery and to place it in storage in a heated room in order that it did not freeze and thereof did not collapse.
