BATTERY
The sealed battery does not require any maintenance work.
When electrolyte leaks, or other failures to the electrical system
are detected, apply to the HUSQVARNA Dealer.
If the vehicle remains unused for long periods, it is recom-
mended to remove battery from electrical system and store it
in a dry place.
- After an intensive use of the battery, it’s advisable a stan-
dard low charge (12V-6Ah battery: 0.6A for 8 hours).
- Rapid recharging is advised only in situations of extreme ne-
cessity since the life of lead elements is drastically reduced
(6A for 0.5 hours with 12V-6Ah batteries).
BATTERY CHARGER
To gain access to the battery (2):
- first turn counterclockwise fastening rear pin (1) then re-
move the saddle;
- first remove the BLACK or BLUE negative cable, then the RED
positive cable (when reassembling, first connect the RED pos-
itive cable, then the BLACK or BLUE negative cable);
- remove the battery (3) from its housing.
Check, using a voltmeter, that battery voltage is not less than
12,5 V.
If not, the battery needs to be charged.
Using a battery charter with a constant voltage, first connect
the RED positive cable to the battery’s positive terminal then
the BLACK or BLUE negative cable to the battery’s negative ter-
minal.
Apply to the constant voltage of 14,4 V a current of “x” Ampere
as results in the belowe diagram (depending on the amount of
carging required).
The voltage reaches a constant value only after a few hours,
therefore it is suggested NOT to measure it immediately after
having charged or discharged the battery.
Always check the charge level bifore reinstalling it on the vehi-
cle.
The battery should be kept clean and the terminals coated with
grease.
WARNING*: The battery contains sulfuric
acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or cloth-
ing. Antidote: EXTERNAL - Flush with water.
INTERNAl - Drink large quantities of water
or milk. After milk take magnesia, beaten
eggs or vegetable oil. Call physician imme-
diately. Eyes: Flush with water for no less
than 15 minutes and get prompt medical at-
tention.

WARNING*: In case on unused of the bat-
tery it has to be , in any case, re-charged
