Battery - MV Agusta 2012 Brutale 675 Maintenance Manual

1.13. Battery

1
The battery is of the maintenance-free type and is
installed under the fuel tank. This battery does not
require checking of the fluid level or adding of dis-
tilled water.
If the battery seems to be run-down (causing elec-
trical problems or a difficult starting), recharge it
as soon as possible by connecting the charger to
the present connector under the passenger seat.
Remember that the battery runs down more
quickly if your motorcycle is equipped with addi-
tive electrical accessories.
WARNING
If the battery casing is damaged, there
may be a leakage of sulphuric acid, a
HIGHLY TOXIC AND CORROSIVE sub-
stance. Avoid any contact with your
eyes, skin and clothes. Always wear
protective glasses when you have to
work near the battery.
MAINTENANCE
In the event of a contact with sulphuric
acid, give the FIRST AID as described
below:
• CONTACT WITH EYES: Wash away
with water for about 15 minutes, and
immediately call a doctor.
• CONTACT WITH SKIN: Wash away
with a great amount of water.
• INGESTION: Drink great amounts of
water or milk, and immediately call a
doctor.
Furthermore, leakage of sulphuric acid
can result in the formation of hydrogen
gas which, if ignited by a spark or a
flame, would cause an explosion.
Always have the battery replaced by
your local MV Agusta dealer.
