GLOBAL BATTERY CHARGER99863-01A
Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which could cause severe
burns to eyes and skin. Wear a protective face shield,
rubberized gloves and protective clothing when working
with batteries. KEEP BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
(00063a)
Do not allow battery to completely discharge.The electro-
lyte in a discharged battery will freeze. The more dis-
charged a battery is, the more easily it can freeze and crack
the battery case. (00218a)
If the motorcycle is to be stored with the security system armed,
connect a GLOBAL BATTERY CHARGER (Part No. 99863-
01A) to maintain battery charge.
If the motorcycle is to be stored with the battery installed, a
GLOBAL BATTERY CHARGER unavailable, and with the
security system not armed, unplug the maxi-fuse.
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 Figure 1-40. 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 dis-
charge at a faster rate at higher ambient temperatures. To
reduce the self-discharge rate, store battery in a cool (not
freezing), dry place.
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).
NOTES
• The GLOBAL BATTERY CHARGER (Part No. 99863-01A)
may be used to maintain battery charge for extended
periods of time without risk of overcharging or boiling.
• When returning a battery to service after storage, see
ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTIC MANUAL.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Do not over-tighten bolts on battery terminals. Use
recommended torque values. Over-tightening battery ter-
minal bolts could result in damage to battery terminals.
(00216a)
Connect positive (+) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable
should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected,
the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which
could result in death or serious injury. (00068a)
NOTE
Check that battery is fully charged before installation.
1. See Figure 1-39. With battery terminals facing outward,
place battery in battery tray and install battery strap.
2. Insert fastener through battery positive cable terminal and
into threaded hole of battery positive (+) terminal (5).
Tighten fastener to 60-96 in-lbs (6.8-10.9 Nm). Place
battery terminal cover over positive battery terminal.
3. Insert fastener through battery negative cable terminal
into threaded hole of battery negative (-) terminal (4).
Tighten fastener to 60-96 in-lbs (6.8-10.9 Nm).
4. Apply a light coat of petroleum jelly or corrosion retardant
material to both battery terminals.
