1. If the motorcycle will not be driven for more than 2 weeks,
maintaining the battery with the Battery Minder 2012-AGM
charger (PN 2830438) is recommended.
2. To help prolong battery life, it is recommended to remove the
battery from vehicles stored ONE month or longer. To
maximize the life of stored batteries, they should be kept in a
cool / dry location. Batteries will self discharge more rapidly
when stored in extreme temperatures. Batteries should be
maintained using the recommended battery charger while in
storage.
3. Batteries will self-discharge more quickly when dirty. Periodic
cleaning of the battery terminals using a terminal brush will
help maximize battery life. Wash terminals with a solution of
one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water. Rinse well with
tap water and dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the terminals
with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.
4. Battery connections should be tightened to the correct torque
during installation. This will reduce voltage drop and ensure a
reliable connection between the regulator/rectifier and battery.
