WORK 7
Warning
Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
–Oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaners, brake fluid, etc., should be disposed of as stipulated in applicable regulations.
Info
Even when there is no load on the battery, it discharges steadily.
The charge state and the type of charge are very important for the service life of the battery.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the battery's service life.
If the charging current, charging voltage and charging time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the safety valves. This
reduces the battery capacity.
If the battery is depleted from starting the vehicle repeatedly, 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 sulfate, destroying the
battery.
The battery is maintenance-free, i.e., the acid level does not have to be checked.
–Switch off all power consumers and switch off the engine.
–Remove the battery.
700588-01
–Connect the battery charger to the battery. Switch on the battery charger.
Battery charger (58429074000)
You can also use the battery charger to test the rest potential and start potential of
the battery, and to test the alternator. With this device, you cannot overcharge the
battery.
Info
Never remove lid .
Charge the battery at no more than 10% of the capacity specified on battery
housing .
–Switch off the charger after charging.
Guideline
The charge current, charge voltage and charge time must not be exceeded.
Charge the battery regularly when the
motorcycle is not in use
3 months
