dilute the electrolyte, but will corrode anything near or under the vent tube. To
prevent battery case damage and possible explosion caused by pressure build-up, be
sure the vent tube is properly routed and not kinked or obstructed when it is
installed on the motorcycle.
New Battery Storage
Store new batteries dry, at temperatures no lower than 50F / 10C, or higher than 80F /
27C, for no longer than two years, with plugs screwed in tightly and with gas discharge
ducts closed off.
Ural will warranty dry charged batteries for 90 days in service, providing the New
Battery Storage limits are observed and that the following New Battery Preparation and
Battery Charging procedures are followed for activating a battery.
New Battery Preparation
Prior to initial charge:
1. Remove the plugs unit from the battery and cut off the sealing projection (lug).
2. Fill the battery cells with battery acid, and let sit for 20 minutes to allow electrolyte to
saturate the plates. Top up with acid as needed, to maintain upper level line in each
cell.
3. Start charging no sooner than 20 minutes, but no later than 2 hours, after filling with
electrolyte.
Battery Charging (new or used batteries)
CAUTION: When charging the battery, disconnect the positive terminal (+) from
the battery to prevent damage to the electrical components. **Never jump-start a
motorcycle.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to charge a battery with frozen electrolyte. Remove the
battery from the motorcycle, place it in a plastic container to catch any spilled
electrolyte, and allow the battery to warm to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
Ensure that there are no cracks in the case and no electrolyte leaks, before
attempting to charge.
Use a 12 volt trickle charger (2 Amp 12V DC) for charging, preferably an automatic
charger that will adjust charge rate to battery state.
Ensure electrolyte is filled to top level before charging.
While charging, monitor battery temperature and electrolyte level. Check that the battery
temperature during charging is not higher than 112 F / 45°C, (obviously warm to the
touch, indicating too high a charge rate.)
