Fast-Charging/Boost Starting




NOTES:
- Batteries should be fast-charged (charging current approximately 20% of battery capacity and higher) only under exceptional circumstances.
- Batteries are damaged by fast-charging.
- Boost starting is also possible using the VAG1472 starter/charger.
- The VAS 1992 battery-starter provides boost starting for vehicles with totally discharged/weak batteries without connection to line voltage. Depending on the outside temperature and battery capacity, 15-30 starting operations can be completed.
