Note: To increase the shelf life before use, batteries can be supplied without electrolyte, the electrodes of such batteries are in a dry-charged state. Electrolyte is poured into such batteries immediately before installation in the vehicle.
Before replacing the battery, it is necessary to clarify its overall dimensions and electrical parameters. The battery must match the dimensions of the installation site on the vehicle and be securely attached to it. Location of terminals on the battery case (battery polarity) and their shape must match the terminals on the previously installed battery. When installing a battery with a different polarity, the length of the wires may not be sufficient and there is a possibility of mixing up the wires when connecting, which will cause damage to the vehicle's electrical equipment. The polarity marking of the battery terminals (plus "+" or minus "-") is usually located on the battery case near the terminal.

The vehicle uses an electrical power management system that monitors the battery status and optimizes the generator operation to charge the battery most efficiently and increase the engine's fuel efficiency. A system sensor is installed on the wire connecting the battery to the ground, monitoring the battery discharge current.
The electrical capacity and starting current value of the purchased battery must correspond to the characteristics of the previous battery or the values given in the vehicle operating instructions. If a battery of a different capacity or with a different starting current is installed, the power management system will not work correctly.
