Battery Commissioning and Charging
New Battery
In order to correctly and safely commission a new battery, the battery commissioning
procedure listed below must be carefully followed. This is the only battery
commissioning procedure that Triumph recommends. The procedure is designed to
ensure that the battery is at its best when fitted to the motorcycle, and will provide the
best possible performance and reliability.
Failure to comply with this procedure may lead to reduced battery performance and/or
shorten the life of the battery.
The battery gives off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away. Provide
adequate ventilation when charging or using the battery in an enclosed space.
The battery contains sulphuric acid (electrolyte). Contact with skin or eyes may cause
severe burns. Wear protective clothing and a face shield.
If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water immediately.
If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
If electrolyte is swallowed, drink large quantities of water and SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
KEEP ELECTROLYTE OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
1. Check the battery carefully for damage.
Ensure the electrolyte container part number matches the battery part number to be
filled. Battery life will be greatly reduced if the incorrect volume (either too little or too
much) of acid is added to the battery.
2. Read the instructions and warnings delivered with the battery.
3. Place the battery on a flat level surface and remove the sealing foil.
4. Remove the battery sealing strip from the electrolyte container and save for later in
this procedure. Place the sealing strip on a clean surface, with the upper side facing
downwards to avoid contamination of the sealing strip. Do not break the seal on the
electrolyte container.
