Husqvarna FC 450 2018 Repair Manual page 141

Note
Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
-
Dispose of oils, grease, filters, fuel, cleaning agents, brake fluid, etc., correctly and in compliance
with the applicable regulations.
Info
Even when there is no load on the 12 V battery, it discharges steadily.
The charging level and the method of charging are very important for the service life of the 12 V battery.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the service life of the battery.
If the charging current, charging voltage, and charging time are exceeded, the 12 V battery will be
destroyed.
If the 12 V battery is depleted from starting the vehicle repeatedly, the battery must be charged immedi­
ately.
If the 12 V battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become deeply discharged
and sulfating occurs, destroying the battery.
The 12 V battery is maintenance-free. The acid level does not have to be checked.
