15.3 Charging the 12-V battery
Note
Environmental hazard 12 V batteries contain environmentally hazardous materials.
– Do not dispose of 12 V batteries as household waste.
– Dispose of 12 V batteries at a collection point for used batteries.
Note
Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
– Dispose of oils, grease, filters, fuel, cleaning agents, brake fluid, etc., correctly and in compliance with
the applicable regulations.
Info
Even when there is no load on the 12-V battery, it discharges steadily each day.
The charging level and the method of charging are very important for the service life of the 12-V 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, the 12 V battery will be destroyed.
If the 12-V battery is discharged by repeated starting, charge the 12-V battery immediately.
If the 12-V battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become deeply discharged
and suffer a loss of capacity, destroying the battery.
The 12-V battery is maintenance-free.
Preparatory work
– Remove the seat. ( p. 72)
– Remove the fuel tank. ( p. 79)
– Remove the 12-V battery. ( p. 110)

teries.
– Only charge 12 V batteries in well-ventilated
rooms.
– Maintain a minimum clearance from inflammable
materials when charging 12 V batteries.
Minimum clearance 1 m (3 ft)
– Do not charge deeply discharged 12 V batteries if
the charge is already below the minimum voltage.
Minimum voltage before
the start of the charge
9 V
– Dispose of 12 V batteries correctly if they have less
than the minimum voltage.
– Check the battery voltage.
