Dodge Charger: ENGINE COMPARTMENT / Maintenance-Free Battery
Your vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-free battery. Water will never have
to be added, and periodic maintenance is not required.
NOTE:
The battery is stored under an access cover in the trunk. Remote battery terminals
are located in the engine compartment for jump starting.
WARNING!
- Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind
you. Do not allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin, or clothing. Do
not lean over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on
skin, flush the area immediately with large amounts of water.
- Battery gas is flammable and explosive. Keep flame or sparks away
from the battery. Do not use a booster battery or any other booster source with
an output greater than 12 Volts. Do not allow cable clamps to touch each other.
- Battery posts, terminals, and related acces- sories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
- The battery in this vehicle has a vent hose that should not be disconnected
and should only be replaced with a battery of the same type (vented).
CAUTION!
- It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the
positive cable is attached to the positive post and the nega- tive cable is
attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked positive (+) and negative
(-) and are identified on the battery case. Cable clamps should be tight on
the terminal posts and free of corrosion.
- If a “fast charger” is used while the battery is in the vehicle, disconnect
both vehicle battery cables before connecting the charger to the battery. Do
not use a “fast charger” to provide starting voltage.
The windshield washer fluid reservoir is located in the front of the engine compartment.
Be sure to check the fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with windshield
washer solvent (not radiator antifreeze) and operate the system for a few seconds
to flush out the residual water...
Cleaning the engine compartment with a high pressure washer is not recommended.
CAUTION!
Precautions have been taken to safeguard all parts and connections however,
the pressures generated by these machines is such that complete protection against
water ingress cannot be guaranteed...
