12-VOLT BATTERY
12-volt battery charging
WARNING: Batteries are hazardous.
Before handling the batteries, make
sure you read and understand all
of the warnings given in Battery
handling safety on page 36.
Failure to comply with the warnings
increases the risk of injury, death,
or damage to the motorcycle or
property.
To charge and maintain the 12-volt battery,
keep the primary battery installed with
charge. This will trickle charge the 12-volt
battery even when the motorcycle is o.
Please be aware, this charging process
will discharge the primary battery, so it is
important to check the State of Charge (SoC)
of the primary battery every two months.
Cold weather will also increase the discharge
rate.
WARNING: Charging the batteries
in an unventilated area could result
in temperature changes within the
batteries and a fire. If lithium-ion
batteries catch fire, they release toxic
fumes that may damage your health
and may result in injury or death.
NOTICE: Maeving does not
recommend using a battery quick
charger on the motorcycle, as it
could overcharge and permanently
damage the 12-volt battery.
To charge the 12-volt battery using a battery
optimiser:
1. Place the motorcycle in a well-ventilated
area.
2. Make sure the ignition key is in the OFF
position.
3. Remove the 12-volt battery access panel.
For further information 12-volt battery
access panel on page 85.
4. Disconnect the negative (-) and positive
(+) battery connectors.
5. Connect a battery optimiser to the
negative (-) and positive (+) battery
connectors and allow the 12-volt battery
to charge fully. The battery optimiser
must charge at one ampere or less.
6. Once charging is complete, isolate the
power supply to the battery optimiser
before disconnecting the charger from
the 12-volt battery.
WARNING: Once the battery has
reached full charge, stop charging it.
Overcharging could cause the battery
to overheat, resulting in a fire or
explosion and potentially leading to
injury or death.
7. Install the 12-volt battery access panel.
For further information, see 12-volt
battery access panel on page 85.
