Suzuki drz 400E Service Manual

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 7-31
RECHARGING OPERATION
Measure the battery voltage using the multi circuit tester or
digital volt meter. If the voltage reading is less than the 12.6 V
(DC), recharge the battery with a MF battery charger.
When recharging the battery, remove the battery from
the motorcycle.
Recharging time: 0.65 A for 5 to 10 hours.
Do not attempt boost charging under any circum-
stances.
After recharging, wait at least 30 minutes and then measure
the battery voltage using the multi circuit tester. If the battery
voltage is less than 12.6 V, recharge the battery again. If the
battery voltage is still less than 12.6 V after recharging, re-
place the battery with a new one.
When a battery is left unused for a long time, its voltage needs
to be regularly measured. When the motorcycle is not used for
more than one month (especially during the winter season),
measure the battery voltage at least once a month.
