Charging and maintenance of the battery
during winter storage
Your motorcycle is equipped with a connector (1, fig.
169) to which you can connect a special battery
charger (2) (Battery maintainer kit part no.
69924601A - various countries; Battery maintainer kit
part no. 69924601AX - for Japan, China and Australia

Note
The 1199 Panigale electric system is designed
so as to ensure there is a very low power drain when
the motorcycle is off. Nevertheless, the battery
features a certain self-discharge rate that is normal
and depends on ambient conditions as well as on
“non-use“ time.
Important
If battery is not kept at a minimum charge level
by a suitable battery charge maintainer, sulphation
may occur and this is an irreversible phenomenon
causing decreasing battery performance.
