Best way of changing the battery?

Post by ph001 » Thu Mar 08, 2018 6:10 pm

From TIS...

"On vehicles with IBS, recharging the battery directly at the battery terminals could lead to a misinterpretation of the battery condition and even unwanted Check-Control messages or fault memory entries.

If the battery is recharged while installed, it must be recharged using the jump-starting points...in the engine compartment.
Only then can you be sure that the recharging is correctly recognized by the vehicle electronics on vehicles with intelligent battery sensor (IBS)"

Ok will get one, it'll be a wise investment. They are raved about and I know many folks have one fo these. It may also resurrect my son's battery as well.
