BATTERY WIRING
RECOMMENDED BATTERY SWITCH CAPACITY
Select a battery switch which covers the starting ampere given in the table.
If the battery cable connection points are increased, electric resistance will increase and perfor-
mance for starting will decrease.
If a lot of connections such as an automatic battery distribution system is used, the total electric
resistance of connections has to be 0.5 MΩ or less.

BATTERY CHARGING CAPABILITY
The following chart shows the net capability to charge a battery.
In case of an isolator equipped model, the capability is the total of main and isolator lines.
* When the temperature of stator coil has risen, the battery charging capability tends to drop.
