8.2.1

What you need to know about batteries

Power is supplied by two 12V batteries. The batteries are maintenance-free and only need regular
charging.
New batteries should always be fully charged once before their first use. New batteries will be at
their full capacity after having run through approx. 10 - 20 charging cycles. How fast the batteries
will be discharged will depend on many circumstances, such as ambient temperature, condition of
the surface of the road, tyre pressure, weight of the driver, way of driving and utilisation of lighting,
etc.
