Maintenance Free Batteries
Most problems with batteries today are due to improper initial activation. Many people, even professionals, think it is enough just to put acid in the battery and start the engine…WRONG. Newly activated batteries should ALWAYS be CHARGED before you install them into the motorcycle. Otherwise they lose at least 20% of their capacity. This will definitely result in much shorter service life or other battery problems.

- ONLY use the electrolyte container supplied together with the battery.

- Keep the container in this position until it is completely empty.
