Maintaining The Battery Charge - Ducati MONSTER 1200 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 maintainer kit part no.
69924601A - various countries; Battery maintainer
kit part no. 69924601AX - for Japan, China and
Australia only) 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.
