16. BATTERY (12V - 14 AH)

NOTE - The following information concerns the interventions on "non sealed" battery type.
The battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid with is poisonous and can cause severe burnt. Avoid that
the substance get in contact with eyes, skin or clothes. In case of contact with eyes or skin rinse thoroughly
with water for some minutes and refer to a doctor. In case of ingestion, immediately drink a lot of water or
milk followed by milk of magnesia, beated egg or vegetal oil and call a doctor.
The battery produces explosive gases; do not use bare flames, sparks or cigarettes; ventilate the room
while recharging the battery in a closed environment. Always screen the eyes when working in the proximity
of batteries. Keep out of the reach of children.
• After removing hose and caps, pour battery-type sulphuric
acid into the elements until reaching the upper level. The
acid specific weight must be 1.26, that is to say 30 Bé,
and its temperature below 15 °C.
1) Keep the densitometer in a vertical position.
2) Visually check the liquid density.
3) Release the float.
• Leave the battery rest for at least 2 hours and then top up
with sulphuric acid.
• Recharge with a proper recharger within 24 hours at a
voltage corresponding to around 1/10 of the battery rated
capacity until the acid density reaches the value 1.27,
that is to say to 31 Bé.
• After recharging the battery, top up the acid (adding
distilled water). Close with the cap and clean with care.
• Once the above operations are over, fit the battery to the
motorcycle, according to the wiring diagram indicated in
the Service manual.

16.1 Electrolyte level check
• Frequently check for the electrolyte level: it must reach the upper part of the battery. In order to top up the indicated
level strictly use distilled water. In case water need to be added with unusual frequency, check for the motorcycle
electrical system operation: the battery may be surcharged and this may reduce its lifetime.
