Accumulator Maintenance - Regal Raptor DAYTONA 125 User Manual

ACCUMULATOR MAINTENANCE

The motorcycle is supplied with 12V9A.h DC by a lead-acid accumulator.
When riding the motorcycle, insufficient electrolyte in the accumulator will cause sulfuration
and damage to its polar plate.
If electrolyte in accumulator runs out quickly, insufficient electrolyte will lower strength of the
current thus making it hard to start the engine or bringing other trouble to the electrical system. See
the authorized dealer for repair.
Regularly check electrolyte in the accumulator that is under the right side frame cover. The
electrolyte level should be between the upper and lower levels marked on the front side face of the
accumulator, If the electrolyte is below the lower level, take the accumulator out of the motorcycle,
remove its cap and add distilled water carefully up to the upper level.
1.when checking electrolyte or adding distilled water, make sure that the air
tube is well connected with the air outlet of the accumulator.
2.Use only distilled water. Tap water will shorten the service life of the
accumulator.
3.Remove the accumulator from the motorcycle to prevent its discharge and
leakage when you are not to use your motorcycle for a long period of time. When
removing, take the negative wire apart first. After charging, store the accumulator
in well-ventilated area free of direct sunlight. If you want to store the accumulator
in the motorcycle, you should remove the negative wire.
4.Regularly clean both positive and negative posts after removing the
accumulator. To reinstall the accumulator, put the positive wire on the negative
posts are firm.
5.Replace with an equivalent specified accumulator.
