CAUTION:
A loosely mounted battery may cause the following hazards:
- Shortened service life due to vibration damage (explosion hazard).
- If the battery is not secured properly, the plates within the battery can be damaged.
- Damage to the battery housing caused by the bracket (possible electrolyte leakage, high subsequent costs).
- Inadequate crash safety.

Only maintenance-free batteries conforming to standards "TL82506" (from 12/1997) and "VW75073" (from 08/2001) may be installed.
Batteries from the replacement parts program have a base strip adapter for adapting to different clamping strips.
For information on whether to use the base strip adapter and how to use it. Refer to the appropriate Battery Service Information.
