Single and twin battery usage
The motorcycle can be ridden with either one or two batteries. Riding
with two batteries will increase the range of the motorcycle.
When using a single battery, it
must be installed in the primary
battery compartment (the motorcycle will not allow drive mode to be
selected if the only battery is installed in the storage compartment).
When using two batteries, the batteries must be within 2% State
of Charge (SoC) with each other before they will both be used
simultaneously. If one of the batteries is at a higher SoC than the
other, the motor controller will use the battery with the most charge
first, until the batteries are equally balanced. The system will then
automatically switch to using both batteries together in parallel.
Checking the battery is charged
With the motorcycle resting on the side stand, insert the ignition key
into the ignition barrel and turn the ignition key to the
ON
position.
The instrument panel displays various information. The charge
percentage is displayed on the right-hand side of the instrument
panel display, just above the odometer.
Note : When two batteries are installed, the charge percentage
displayed on the instruments is the average value of the
two batteries, e.g., if the primary battery is at 100% State of
Charge (SoC) and the secondary battery is at 50%, the value
displayed will be 75%.
The battery’s SoC can also be checked when the battery is not
installed in the motorcycle by pressing the small button on the top of
the battery. The SoC is displayed on the LED gauge, as shown below:
