PRECAUTIONS
(1) NO NEED OF TOPPING-UP
No topping-up is necessary in this battery until it ends its life under normal use. Forcibly prying off the
seal cap to add water is very dangerous.
Never do that.
(2) REFRESHING CHARGE.
If an engine will not start, a horn sounds weak, or lamps are dim, it indicates the battery has been
discharged. Give refresh charge for 5 to 10 hours with charge current shown in the specification (see
Specifications section).
When a fast charge is inevitably required, do it following precisely the maximum charge current and
time conditions indicated on the battery.
This battery is designed to sustain no unusual deterioration if refresh-charged according to the method
specified above. However, the battery's performance may be reduced noticeably if charged under
conditions other than given above.
Never remove the seal cap during refresh charge.
If by chance an excessive amount of gas is generated due to overcharging, the relief valve releases the
gas to keep the battery normal.
(3) WHEN YOU DO NOT USE THE MOTORCYCLE FOR MONTHS.
Give a refresh charge before you store the motorcycle and store it with the negative cable removed.
Give a refresh charge once a month during storage.
(4) BATTERY LIFE
If the battery will not start the engine even after several refresh charges, the battery has exceeded its
useful life.
Replace it (Provided, however, the vehicle's starting system has no problem).
