BMW F 800 R 2013 Rider's Manual page 107

suitable charger is available from
your authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
If you switch on the igni-
tion and the multifunction
display and indicator lights fail
to light up, the battery is com-
pletely flat (battery voltage is less
than 9 V). Attempting to charge
a completely flat battery via the
extra socket can cause damage
to the motorcycle's electronics.
If a battery has discharged to the
extent that it is completely flat, it
has to be disconnected from the
on-board circuits and charged
with the charger connected dir-
ectly to the battery posts.
Charge via the power socket,
with the battery connected
to the motorcycle's on-board
electrical system.
The motorcycle's on-board
electronics know when the
battery is fully charged. The
on-board socket is switched off
when this happens.
Comply with the operating in-
structions of the charger.
If you are unable to charge
the battery through the on-
board socket, you may be using
a charger that is not compatible
with your motorcycle's electron-
ics. If this happens, disconnect
the battery from the on-board
systems and connect the charger
directly to the battery.
Charging battery when
disconnected
Charge the battery using a
suitable charger.
Comply with the operating in-
structions of the charger.
After charging, remove the pole
terminal of the charger from
the battery posts.
The battery has to be re-
charged at regular intervals
in the course of a lengthy period
of disuse. See the instructions
for caring for your battery. Al-
ways fully recharge the battery
before restoring it to use.
Removing battery
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
