Should the battery voltage fall below
12.7 Volts, the battery should be charged
using a Triumph approved battery
charger. Always remove the battery
from the motorcycle and follow the
instructions supplied with the battery
charger.
For extended periods of storage
(beyond two weeks) the battery should
be removed from the motorcycle and
kept charged using a Triumph approved
maintenance charger.
Similarly, should the battery charge
fall to a level where it will not start the
motorcycle, remove the battery from
the motorcycle before charging.
