Maintaining The Battery Charge - Ducati Supersport 950 Owner's Manual

Maintaining the battery charge

Your motorcycle is equipped with a connector (1),
under the seat, to which you can connect a special
battery charger (2) (Battery charge maintenance kit
part no. 69928471A (Europe), part no. 69928471AW
(Japan), 69928471AX (Australia), 69928471AY (UK),
69928471AZ (USA), 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 is not kept at a minimum charge level
by a suitable battery charge maintainer, sulphation
may occur and this is an irreversible phenomenon
causing decreasing battery performance.
When the motorcycle is left unused (approximately
for more than 30 days). We recommend owners to
use the Ducati battery charge maintainer (Battery
maintenance kit) since its electronics monitors the
battery voltage and features a maximum charge
