HUSABERG TE 300 EU - Lighting System Maintenance

14 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 83
Warning
Environmental hazard Battery components and acid are harmful to the environment.
– Do not dispose of batteries with the regular garbage. Dispose of defective batteries in an environmentally responsible man-
ner. Take the batteries to your HUSABERG dealer or to a collection point for old batteries.
Warning
Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
– Oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaners, brake fluid, etc., should be disposed of as stipulated in applicable regulations.
Info
Even if there is no load on the battery, it loses power every day.
The charging level and type of charge are very important to the battery service life.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the battery's service life.
If the charging current, charging voltage, and charging time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the safety valves. This
reduces the battery capacity.
If the battery is depleted from starting the vehicle repeatedly, the battery must be charged immediately.
If the battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become over-discharged and sulfate, destroying the
battery.
The battery is maintenance-free, i.e., the acid level does not have to be checked.
Preparatory work
– Switch off all power consumers and switch off the engine.
– Remove the seat. ( p. 53)
– Disconnect the negative cable of the battery to avoid damage to the motorcycle's
electronics.
