Quick Charging/Boost Starting




Quick Charging / Boost Starting

NOTE:
- Batteries should only be quick charged (i.e. charge current more than about 20 % of battery capacity) if absolutely necessary.
- Batteries will be damaged by rapid-charging.
- Starter/charger unit VAG 1472 (or equivalent) can also be used for boost starting.
- Battery-powered starter VAS 1992 is a portable unit (independent of the mains power supply) for boost-starting vehicles with flat or heavily discharged batteries. The unit can be used between 15 and 30 times, depending on the outside temperature and the battery capacity.
