Battery Discharge During Storage
and Infrequent Use of the
Motorcycle
During storage or infrequent use of the
motorcycle, inspect the battery voltage
weekly using a multimeter. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions supplied
with the meter.
Should the battery voltage fall below
12.7
Volts, the battery should be
charged.
Allowing a battery to discharge or
leaving it discharged for even a short
period of time causes sulphation of the
lead plates. Sulphation is a normal part
of the chemical reaction inside the
battery, however over time the sulphate
can crystallise on the plates making
recovery difficult or impossible. This
permanent damage is not covered by
the motorcycle warranty, as it is not
due to a manufacturing defect.
Keeping the battery fully charged
reduces the likelihood of it freezing in
cold conditions. Allowing a battery to
freeze will cause serious internal
damage to the battery.
Battery Charging
Warning
The battery contains sulphuric acid
(battery acid). Contact with skin or
eyes may cause severe burns. Wear
protective clothing and a face shield.
If battery acid gets on your skin, flush
with water immediately.
If battery acid gets in your eyes, flush
with water for at least 15 minutes and
SEEK
MEDICAL
ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY.
If battery acid is swallowed, drink large
quantities of water and SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
KEEP BATTERY ACID OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN.
Caution
Do not use an automotive quick
charger as it may overcharge and
damage the battery.
For help with selecting a battery
charger, checking the battery voltage or
battery charging, contact your local
authorised Triumph dealer.
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.
