Idling the engine can charge the battery. The method for charging the battery is: 1. Turn off the engine and remove the battery; 2. Open the vent caps on the battery; 3. Attach the red clamp of the dedicated charger to the battery's positive terminal marked with a plus sign, and the black clamp to the negative terminal marked with a minus sign; 4. Adjust to the 2nd gear and select the 12-volt power source; 5. Plug in the charger, turn on the switch, and charging will begin. Precautions for battery charging include: 1. In cold weather, check if the electrolyte is frozen before charging; 2. Check the electrolyte level before charging; 3. During charging, measure the density and voltage of the electrolyte approximately every hour, and monitor its temperature; 4. Ensure the charging area is well-ventilated and strictly prohibit open flames; 5. Stop charging if unattended.
