CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
5. Charge:
• battery
(refer to the appropriate charging
method illustration)
WARNING
WARNING
Do not quick charge a battery.
ACHTUNG:
CAUTION:
• Never remove the MF battery sealing
caps.
• Do not use a high-rate battery charger
since it forces a high-amperage cur-
rent into the battery quickly and can
cause battery overheating and bat-
tery plate damage.
• If it is impossible to regulate the
charging current on the battery
charger, be careful not to overcharge
the battery.
• When charging a battery, be sure to
remove it from the motorcycle. (If
charging has to be done with the bat-
tery mounted on the motorcycle, dis-
connect the negative lead from the
battery terminal.)
• To reduce the chance of sparks, do not
plug in the battery charger until the
battery charger leads are connected to
the battery.
• Before removing the battery charger
lead clips from the battery terminals,
be sure to turn off the battery charger.
• Make sure that the battery charger
lead clips are in full contact with the
battery terminal and that they are not
shorted. A corroded battery charger
lead clip may generate heat in the con-
tact area and a weak clip spring may
cause sparks.
• If the battery becomes hot to the
touch at any time during the charging
process, disconnect the battery
charger and let the battery cool before
reconnecting it. Hot batteries can
explode!
• As shown in the following illustration,
the open-circuit voltage of an MF bat-
tery stabilizes about 30 minutes after
charging has been completed. There-
fore, wait 30 minutes after charging is
completed before measuring the
open-circuit voltage.
