Without Using DCA-8000 (With I-Stop)

WARNING:

Keep all flames away from the battery, otherwise evaporated gas from the electrolyte may catch fire and cause serious injury.
Do not perform battery recharging with the battery in the vehicle as it is dangerous.
When connecting to the battery recharger, make sure the battery cables are connected correctly.

CAUTION:

After recharging, leave the battery as it is for as long as possible (6 hours or longer recommended) to dissipate the polarization in the battery.

Connect a battery charger to the battery and adjust the charging current as follows.

Constant current recharger device available

Apply a constant current charge so that the recharge current is 11 to 16 A. Perform the battery charge time referring to TABLE 1 .

BATTERY RECHARGE TIME

Voltage measured by battery inspection (V)	Charge time (min)
12.52 or more	180
12.47	210
12.42	240
12.37	270
12.32	300
12.28	330
12.23	360

No constant current recharger device available

Adjust the voltage so that the recharge current is 11 to 16 A. Verify the current after 30 s have elapsed since the measurement was started because the current is not stabilized after the voltage adjustment.
Charge the battery for 60 min using current in Step 1.
Readjust the battery recharger so that the recharge current is 11 to 16 A.
Charge the battery so that the total time for Step 2 is the time in TABLE 1 .

Install the charged battery to the vehicle. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION (VIN Y) .)
Turn on the headlights with the ignition switched OFF and wait for 1 min.
NOTE:
- The battery is discharged because the battery voltage condition is unstable.
Turn off the headlights and wait for approx. 5 min.
Measure the battery voltage using a circuit tester.
NOTE:
- If the battery voltage is 12.56 V or less or 12.70 V or more, the i-stop control may not operate normally.
Voltage is 12.70 V or more

Perform the procedure from Step 5 again.

Less than 12.56 V

Replace the battery as battery charge could not be restored.

Between 12.56 V or more and less than 12.70 V

Perform the battery initial learning procedure (i-stop learning) because the battery charge was restored.
