Dry Charged Storage Batteries
ALL MODELS
The fully charged battery acts as a voltage stabilizer in the electrical system. Because the magneto delivers
considerably more current than the rated voltage of the system, a fully charged battery is essential as a
buffer between the current generating source and the various light bulbs on the cycle.
A discharged battery does not provide sufficient electrical resistance to perform this "buffer" function and
light bulbs will be burned out when they are switched on due to the excessive current reaching them from
the magneto or generator through the discharged battery. For this reason, it is important that the dealer
properly fill and charge the battery just prior to delivering the machine.
1. Fill the battery to proper level with 1.260 specific gravity electrolyte.
