Battery - Honda 2010 FSC600 Owner's Manual

Your scooter has a maintenance-free type
battery. You do not have to check the
battery electrolyte level or add distilled
water as you would with a conventional-
type battery.
Your battery is a maintenance-f ree type
and can be permanently damaged if the
cap strip is removed.
Electrical accessories use current from the
battery, even when the ignition is OFF.
Limited operation also allows the battery
to discharge. If you have electrical
accessories on your scooter or do not ride
frequently, we recommend that you
charge the battery frequently (see
Charging, page 155

).
If you do not expect to ride your scooter
for at least two weeks, we recommend you
remove the battery, or at least disconnect
the battery cables (negative cable first).
If you plan to store your scooter, see
Battery Storage, page
If your battery seems weak and/or is
leaking electrolyte (causing slow starting
or other electrical problems), see your
Honda dealer.
