Charging And Maintenance Of The Battery During Winter Storage - Ducati Monster 1200 Owner's Manual

Charging and maintenance of the battery
during winter storage
Your motorcycle is equipped with a connector (1),
located under the seat, to which you can connect a
special battery charger (2) (Battery maintainer kit part
no. 69924601A - various countries; Battery
maintainer kit part no. 69924601AX - for Japan, China
and Australia only) available from our sales network.
Note
The electric system of this model is designed so
as to ensure there is a very low power drain when the
motorcycle is off. Nevertheless, the battery features
a certain self-discharge rate that is normal and
depends on ambient conditions as well as on "non-
use" time.
Important
If battery minimum voltage is not ensured by a
suitable battery charge maintainer, sulfation may
occur. This is irreversible and will lead to decreasing
battery performance.
