1.1 Preparing documents
Note of work:
*Note
1. Battery can be charged and discharged repeatedly. If it is charged after discharge, its
service life will be shortened and performance is undermined. Normally, the battery
performance will be degraded after two or three years. For battery with performance
degradation (reduced capacity), voltage will recover temporarily after charging but decrease
sharply when loading.
2. Battery overcharge: normally, overcharge can be judged upon the battery. In the case of
short circuit inside the battery, its terminal is unable to detect voltage or the detected
voltage is very low. Regulator failure: overvoltage inside the battery will shorten its service
life.
3. The battery will be discharged if being stored for a long time, which reduces its
capacity. It shall be charged about every three months when storing.
Check the charging system following the sequence listed on the failure diagnosis table.
4. Do not remove the connector when there is current through electrical parts, otherwise
it will cause over voltage and damage to electrical parts inside the voltage regulator.
Please operate it after the main switch is turned off.
5. It is unnecessary to check the maintenance-free (dry-charged) battery and add
electrolyte and distilled water.
6. Check all the electric load.
7. Emergency charging can only be used under emergency situation.
8. Remove the battery from the motorcycle for emergency charging.
9. Do not use electrolyte-added batteries when interchanging batteries.
10. Use a voltmeter to check charging condition of the battery.
