Info
Even when there is no load on the battery, it discharges steadily.
The charging level and the method of charging are very important for the service life of the battery.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the service life of the battery.
If the charging current, charging voltage, or charging time is exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the safety valves. This
reduces the battery capacity.
If the battery is depleted by repeated starting, the battery must be charged immediately.
If the battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become over-discharged and sulfated, destroying the
battery.
The battery is maintenance-free. The acid level does not have to be checked.
Preparatory work
– Switch off all power consumers and switch off the engine.
– Remove the seat. ( p. 10)
– To prevent damage to the onboard electronics, disconnect the negative cable from
the battery.
