Charging The Battery - Ducati Multistrada 620 Owner's Manual

Charging the battery (fig. 51)
Before charging the battery, it is best to remove it from the
motorcycle.
Remove left side fairing (page 54). Always disconnect the
black negative terminal (-) first, and then the red positive
terminal (+).
Unscrew the two screws (1) securing the battery brackets
and remove the battery from the battery compartment.
Warning
The battery produces explosive gases: keep it away
from heat sources and flames.
Charge the battery in a ventilated room.
Connect the red battery charger lead to the positive (+)
terminal on the battery, and the black lead to the
negative (-) terminal.
Important
Always connect up the battery before switching the
battery charger on: failure to do so can result in sparking
at the battery terminals that could ignite the gases inside
the cells.
Always connect the red positive terminal (+) first.
Reinstall the battery on its mount and secure the
brackets with the screws (1). Connect the terminals.
Use some grease on the fastening screws to improve
conductive capacity.
