Battery - MV Agusta BRUTALE 800 RR Owner's Manual

6.17. Battery

Your motorcycle is equipped with a maintenance-
free battery, which is installed under the tail sec-
tion. This battery does not require checking of the
fluid level or adding of distilled water.
If the battery seems to be run-down (causing elec-
trical problems or a difficult starting), have it
recharged or replaced by an authorized MV
Agusta dealer as soon as possible. Remember
that the battery runs down more quickly if your
motorcycle is equipped with additive electrical
accessories.
WARNING
6
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.
WARNING
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.
