Battery is a crucial component interacting with engine and gearbox management systems always pay atten-
tion to its charge level especially if you are running reset procedures.
NOTE: running engine at low revs will not charge battery!
NOTE: if the battery power is low high current consumptions (like a gearshift actuation/recharge) can result
in an engine stall, keeping higher revs and generator in charge will fix this occurrence.
12.3.1
Battery installation
It is recommended to apply a minimum of 5mm of padding, below and on the top of the battery case, and a
2mm padding per side in order to protect the battery from excessive vibration.
The padding also protects the battery casing from getting damaged. It is recommended using closed cell
neoprene.
It is also important that when strapping the battery in place, the padding is not excessively compressed, as
this would minimize its effect.
We also recommend that the battery cables are fully supported so they do not add any extra stress onto the
battery terminals. If they are too short, the engines movement when revved will be transferred through the
cable to the battery. If the cables are too long, they may have weigh enough and move when accelerating,
braking or cornering, adding extra stress to the battery terminals.
A battery, which has been damaged due to vibration, will show a good open circuit voltage (12.8v or more),
but when loaded, the voltage drops to zero. The battery casing usually also shows signs of wear on the casing.
It is also important that when attaching cables to the battery terminals, that the retaining nut is tightened to
4Nm and no higher.
12.3.2
Jump battery
It is suggested the use of a jump battery during the engine crank,
the jump battery must be plugged in only
when the main switch is ON.
The rear wing pillar has a double thread suitable for the Anderson SB50 plug.
