BATTERY (USA - SGP – CAN VERSION)
The batteryʼs voltage is 12 V with a capacity of 16 Ah; it is
charged by the generator.
The battery used on the motorbike is a sealed type lead
acid battery (without maintenance) which does not require
any checks.

HARGING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• It contains toxic substances (Pb e H2 SO4);
• Extremely high currents, avoid short circuits;
• Do not recharge in the sealed container;
• Using different battery chargers (not at
constant voltage) will cause irreparable
damage to the battery.

ENERAL NOTES
Charging lead acid or pure-tin sealed accumulators, just
as other re-chargable accumulators, is a question of
saving the energy supplied during discharge. As this
process is in some ways inefficient, it is necessary to
bring back to the accumulator from 105% to 110% of the
amperes-hour supplied during discharge. The quality of
the power necessary to completely re-charge the battey
depends on the flatness of the accumulator, on the
method, re-charging time and temperature.
It is important that the battery is capable of supplying all
or nearly all of its capacity before receiving the required
over-charging. However, to obtain an optimal duration in
terms of cycle numbers, the battery must periodically
receive the required over-charging.
Charging can be carried out in different ways. The aim is
to convey current through the battery in the direction
opposite to the discharge. Constant voltage charging is
the standard method used to charge lead acid type
accumulators.
Constant voltage charging
The voltage charging method is the most efficient for
charging sealed lead- acid pure-tin accumulators. Using
this charging method, it is not necessary to limit the
maximum current supplied by the charger. The voltage
must however be adjusted so that it is within the values
prescribed below. This feature is due to the internal
resistance of the battery. It is extremely low and features
a high recombination efficiency during charging. We
recommend to observe the following values for constant
voltage charging:
