Battery Maintenance
Care Maintenance :

Clean the battery well using a soft and wet cloth.

Inspect the battery carefully for any deformation
of its housing. If found deformed, replace the
battery immediately

Clean the terminals using a soft wire brush to
remove any oxidations.

Check the electrolyte level to see if it is between
MAX and MIN lines

If necessary top up ONLY with pure and clean
distilled water till the level is between the MAX
and MIN lines. DO NOT OVERFILL as it will
overflow through the vent hole of the battery and
cause irreparable damage to the motorcycle
parts.

Check and ensure the specific gravity of the
electrolyte and the terminal voltage are as per
the recommendations of the battery manufacturer.

Always get the battery tested through an
authorized battery service center OR Royal
Enfield service center.
