RECOMMENDED BATTERY
Battery is an important element to ensure proper engine start-up and to maintain engine operation
performance.
Therefore, exact battery selection is required depending on the model.
Read carefully the labels attached to the battery and follow the instruction supplied by battery man-
ufacturer when you treat or maintain the battery.
Use the battery charging voltage listed in the table below only as a reference when selecting a bat-
tery. The charging voltage may vary depending on the ambient temperature or the electrical load to
the battery.
• Do not use a battery which does not meet with the specified capacity.
If different battery from the specification is used, the electrical system may perform poorly
and/or be overloaded, causing electrical system damage.
• Do not use a battery which exceeds the maximum CCA rating.
If the batteries are used in parallel circuit, use new batteries of the same type and make
sure that the total battery rating never exceeds the maximum CCA rating.
Select a suitable battery as shown in the table below.
