Battery Care and Maintenance
Battery Safety
Before using the battery charger, familiarise yourself with the following safety information.
WARNING: Your McLaren is fitted with a lithium-ion battery. Only a lithium-ion battery charger can be used on this type of battery. Contact your McLaren retailer for more information.
WARNING: The lithium-ion battery fitted to your McLaren is sealed for life and no attempt should be made to break the battery seal to inspect the battery cells.
WARNING: Leave a suitable lithium-ion battery charger connected to the lithium-ion battery and switch on during periods when your vehicle is not in regular use. This will help maintain and prolong the life of the battery.
WARNING: Before use, check that all cables are in good condition; do not use cables that are damaged.
Ensure that all cables are kept away from sharp edges, are not pinched or trapped and are not close to hot surfaces or water.
Never charge a damaged battery. The battery must only be charged in a well-ventilated area; the charger must never be covered or placed on the battery.
Do not place any metal objects on a battery. You could cause a short circuit and the battery could ignite. Keep the charger out of reach of children at all times.
Charging the battery
NOTE: To maintain your lithium-ion battery in optimum condition, always leave the McLaren-supplied battery charger connected to the battery and switch on during periods when your vehicle is not in regular use.
NOTE: Do not connect the battery charger to the interior accessory socket.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the battery charger.

Boost starting from another vehicle
Using booster cables
WARNING: Ensure that both batteries are 12 V and that the booster cables have insulated clamps and are approved for use with 12 V batteries.
WARNING: Do not connect positive (+) terminals to negative (-) terminals.
WARNING: Take care when working near rotating parts of the engine. Ensure cables are kept well clear.
NOTE: Do not use a 24 V booster start system. These produce excessive voltage and can damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
NOTE: It is not possible to push or tow start a vehicle with a discharged battery.
NOTE: If using a donor vehicle, please allow it to have the engine running for a minimum of 2 minutes before trying to start the disabled vehicle.
Boosting procedure
-
If a donor vehicle is to be used, park it so that the battery location is adjacent, but ensure the two vehicles do not touch.
-
Apply the parking brake and ensure that the transmission of both vehicles is set in neutral (or park for vehicles with automatic transmission).
-
Switch off the ignition and all electrical equipment in both vehicles.
- Open the front luggage compartment and remove any items stowed inside.
- Remove the 2 quarter turn screws securing the top of the battery access cover.
- Open the top of the battery access cover and disconnect the 2 electrical connectors on the back of the cover.
- Lift the battery access cover upwards, off its locating pegs, and remove.
NOTE: Before connecting the booster cables, ensure that the battery terminals on the disabled vehicle are correctly and securely connected and that all electrical equipment has been switched off.
- Connect one end of the positive (+) booster cable to the positive (+) terminal on the donor vehicle’s battery.
9. Connect the other end of the positive (+) booster cable to the positive (+) terminal tab on the disabled vehicle’s battery (A). - Connect one end of negative (-) booster cable to the negative (-) terminal on the donor vehicle’s battery.
- Connect the other end of the negative (-) booster cable to the negative (-) terminal on the disabled vehicle’s battery (B).
- Check that the cables are clear of any moving components and that all four connections are secure.
WARNING: Ensure that each connection is securely made and that there is no risk of the clips accidentally slipping or being pulled from the connection points/battery terminal – this could cause sparking, which could lead to fire or explosion. - Start the engine of the donor vehicle and allow it to run for 2 minutes.
- The electrical system on the disabled vehicle should now be ready for the engine to be started.
- Start the engine of the disabled vehicle.
- Allow both vehicles to idle for 2 minutes.
