BMW Motorrad has de-
veloped a trickle-charger
specially designed for com-
patibility with the electronics of
your motorcycle. Using this
charger, you can keep the bat-
tery charged during long im-
mobilisation periods without
having to disconnect the
battery from the motorcycle's
on-board systems. You can
obtain additional information
from your authorised BMW
motorcycle dealer.c
Charging the battery
when connected
If you switch on the ignition
and the multifunction display
and telltale lights fail to light
up, the battery is completely
flat.
• Charge the disconnected
battery via the power socket.
• Comply with the operating
instructions of the charger.
Charging a completely
discharged battery via
the on-board socket can result
in damage to the motorcycle
electronics.
A battery which is completely
discharged must always be
charged directly at the termi-
nals of the disconnected
battery.c
Charging the connected
battery directly at the bat-
tery terminals can damage the
vehicle electronics.
To charge the battery via the
battery terminals, disconnect
the battery first.c
The motorcycle's on-
board electronics know
when the battery is fully
charged. In this case, the
power socket is switched off.c
The BMW chargers with
item numbers
71607676472 and
72 607679040 are not suita-
ble for charging this motorcy-
cle via the power socket.
In unfavourable cases, the
devices can be destroyed.
We recommend that you
obtain information on suitable
chargers from your authorised
BMW motorcycle dealer.c
