Caution
Do not use an automotive quick charg-
er as it may overcharge and damage
the battery.
For help with selecting a battery charg-
er, checking the battery voltage or
battery charging, contact your local au-
thorised Triumph dealer.
Should the battery voltage fall below 12.7
Volts, the battery should be charged us-
ing a Triumph approved battery charger.
Always remove the battery from the
motorcycle and follow the instructions
supplied with the battery charger.
For extended periods of storage (beyond
two weeks) the battery should be re-
moved from the motorcycle and kept
charged using a Triumph approved
maintenance charger.
Similarly, should the battery charge fall
to a level where it will not start the mo-
torcycle, remove the battery from the
motorcycle before charging.
Battery Installation
Warning
Make sure that the battery terminals
do not touch the motorcycle frame as
this may cause a short circuit or spark,
which would ignite battery gases caus-
ing a risk of personal injury.
To install the battery:
• Place the battery in the battery
case.
• Reconnect the battery, positive
(red) lead first.
• Apply a light coat of grease to the
terminals to prevent corrosion.
• Cover the positive terminal with the
protective cap.
• Refit the battery bracket.
• Refit the battery strap.
• Lower and secure the fuel tank (see
page 106).
