EBR 1190RS 2013 Owner's Manual page 139

NOTE
If the battery is still in the vehicle, connect the negative
lead to the chassis ground. Make sure that the ignition and
all electrical accessories are turned off.
5. Step away from the battery and turn on the charger.
Unplug or turn OFF battery charger before disconnect-
ing charger cables from battery. Disconnecting clamps
with charger ON can cause a spark , which could result
in death or serious injury.
6. After the battery is fully charged, turn OFF the charger
and disconnect the black battery charger lead to the nega-
tive (-) terminal of the battery.
7. Disconnect the red battery charger lead to the positive
(+) terminal of the battery.
8. Mark the charging date on the battery.
Storage
The EBR Nano-teck lithium-ion battery was designed to have
minimal self-discharge. In the event of extended battery idle,
the battery should be cared for as follows.
139
1. A battery that is stored in the vehicle is affected by quiescent
loads. Quiescent loads occur from things like diode leakage and
maintaining computer memory with the vehicle off. If the battery
is going to be left in an unridden bike for more than 2 months (8
weeks), disconnect and remove the battery from the vehicle.
2. If the battery is removed from a bike after sitting for 2
months or more, attach a trickle charger to the battery to top it off
and then store it as you normally would.
3. The EBR Lightweight Nano-Teck Battery has a specially
designed balance board to increase its electrical performance
which also means it has a very minimal quiescent electrical
draw. Due to this minimal draw, a sitting not-in-use battery
should be topped off via trickle charger every 6-8 months.
When storing the battery, always keep it in a warm, dry
location.
The battery terminals can be accessed under
the seat. Clean connections and check tightness annually.
Battery terminals should be tightened to 60-70 in-lbs (6.8-7.9
Nm). If it is necessary to remove the battery from your motorcy-
cle, see the service manual for detailed instructions.
NOTE
Use only the battery specified for this model. If installing a new
battery, check the polarity marked on the terminals before
installation.
