Charging The Battery - Ducati Streetfighter Owner's Manual

Charging the battery

Before charging the battery, it is best to remove it
from the motorcycle. Remove the passenger seat
(page 93), loosen screws (1) and remove the
underseat compartment (2). Always disconnect the
black negative terminal (-) first, then the red positive
terminal (+). Remove the battery by sliding it up.
Warning
The battery produces explosive gases: keep it
away from heat sources.
Charge the battery in a ventilated room.
Connect the battery charger leads to the battery
terminals: the red one to the positive terminal (+), the
black one to the negative terminal (-).
Important
Make sure the charger is off when you connect
the battery to it, or you might get sparks at the
battery terminals that could ignite the gases inside
the cells.
Always connect the red positive (+) terminal first.
