Your American IronHorse battery is a heavy-duty model to provide the adequate power needed to start your
high horsepower engine. Replacement batteries should always be the same type as the original equipment, as
indicated in the “American IronHorse Consumable Table.”
WARNING:
•
DO NOT TIP BATTERY; OVERFLOW MAY DAMAGE OTHER VEHICLE PARTS AND POSSIBLY CREATE
PERSONAL INJURY RISKS.
•
ENSURE THAT BATTERY CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHT, CLEAN AND COATED WITH A LIGHT COVERING OF
PETROLEUM JELLY TO RETARD CORROSION.
Batteries exhibit certain characteristics of note.
•
If a battery sits for long periods of time, it will gradually lose its charge. If this condition persists, a battery
may be permanently damaged and unable to hold a charge and function properly again. A similar situation
can occur if the internal battery plates remain uncovered by electrolyte for extended periods.
•
If long-term storage is required, it is recommended that the battery be fully charged, removed from the
vehicle and stored in a cool, dry place. The battery should be recharged before reinserting it into the vehicle.
Owners who store their motorcycles for long periods and/or store the motorcycle in cold areas should
consider battery maintenance devices such as “tenders.”
•
A properly changed battery will display in excess of 13VDC.
•
Battery fluids can freeze at low temperatures. This can result in lowered battery life or failure. Always ensure
that your battery is protected from freezing temperatures. Batteries in a low charge condition are more
susceptible to freezing. The battery should be charged according to one of the two following charge rates:
