The time taken to charge the battery depends on

the condition of charge of the battery, the ambi-
ent temperature and the charging capacity of the
battery. The charging capacity, in turn, depends
on the supply voltage, the current intensity and
the type of power supply.
The nominal voltage range for your vehicle can be
found on the information label in the socket cover
