WARNING
WARNING
Always store batteries where they cannot be reached by
children. Contact with the battery's sulfuric acid could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
The electrolyte in a discharged battery will freeze if
exposed to freezing temperatures. Freezing may crack
the battery case and buckle battery plates.
If the motorcycle will not be operated for several months,
such as during the winter season, remove the battery from
the motorcycle and fully charge. See
Self-discharge is a normal condition and occurs continuously
at a rate that depends on the ambient temperature and the
battery's state of charge. Batteries discharge at a faster rate
at higher ambient temperatures. To reduce the self-discharge
rate, store battery in a cool (not freezing), dry place. See
ure 7-35.
Charge the battery every month if stored at temperatures
below 60˚ F. (16˚ C). Charge the battery more frequently if
stored in a warm area above 60˚ F. (16˚ C).
