ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 6-33
SERVICE LIFE
Lead oxide is on the plates of the battery and will gradually come
off of the plates during the life of the battery. When the bottom of
the battery case becomes full of this sediment, replace the bat-
tery. If the battery is not charged for a long period of time, lead
sulfate may accumulate on the surface of the plates. If this oc-
curs, replace the battery with a new one.
STORAGE
When a battery is not used for a long period of time, sulfation
may occur. When the motorcycle is not used for more than one
month (especially during the winter season), the battery should
be charged at least once a month.
Before charging the battery, remove the seal cap from
each cell.
Keep fire and sparks away from a battery which is
being charged.
When removing the battery from the motorcycle, be
sure to remove the - battery terminal, first.
