Checking The Quiescent Current; Checking The Charging Voltage - KTM 400 EXC AUS 2011 Repair Manual

lllWlRING HARNESS, BATTERY
• Info
I
Even when there is no load on the battery, it still loses power steadily.
The charge state and the type of charge are very important for the service life of the battery.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the battery's service life.
If the charging current, charging voltage and charging time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the safety valves. This
reduces the battery capacity.
If the battery is depleted from starting the vehicle repeatedly, the battery must be charged immediately.
If the battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become over-discharged and sulfate, destroying the
battery.
The battery is maintenance-free, which means that the acid level does not need to be checked.
- Switch off all power consumers and switch off the engine.
- Remove the seat. ( .. p. 66)

- Disconnect the negative cable of the battery to avoid damage to the onboard elec-

tronics.
- Connect the battery charger to the battery. Switch on the battery charger.

You can also use the battery charger to test the open-circuit voltage and starting
voltage of the battery, and to test the alternator. With this device, you cannot over-
charge the battery.
• Info
I
Never remove lid
O.
Charge the battery with a maximum of 10% of the capacity specified on
battery housing •.
- Switch off the battery charger after charging. Disconnect the battery.
Guideline
The charge current, charge voltage and charge time must not be exceeded.
Charge the battery regularly when the
13
months
motorcycle is not in use
- Mount the seat. ( .. p. 66)
- Switch off all power consumers and switch off the engine.
- Remove the seat. ( .. p. 66)
- Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
- Measure the current between battery ground (-) and the negative cable.
• Info
I
The value of the quiescent current applies only to vehicles in the original
state, i.e. without additional power consumers.
I
Maximum closed-circuit current
I
<
1.0 mA
• If the measured value is higher than the specified value:
- Disconnect the voltage regulator from the wiring harness and perform the
measurement again.
Condition
The battery must be fully functional and completely charged.
