Battery - Honda NSA700A 2009 Owner's Manual

Battery

Your motorcycle has a maintenance-free
type battery. You do not have to check the
battery electrolyte level or add distilled
water as you would with a conventional-
type battery.
Your battery is a maintenance-f ree type
and can be permanently damaged if the
cap strip is removed.
Electrical accessories use current from the
battery, even when the ignition is OFF.
Limited operation also allows the battery
to discharge. If you have electrical
accessories on your motorcycle or do not
ride frequently, we recommend that you
charge the battery frequently (see

).
If you do not expect to ride your
motorcycle for at least two weeks, we
recommend you remove the battery, or at
least disconnect the battery cables
(negative cable first).

or other electrical problems), see your
