AGM Battery Maintenance Tips

  1. If the motorcycle will not be driven for more than 2 weeks, maintaining the battery with the BatteryMINDer® 2012-AGM charger (PN 2830438) is recommended.

  2. To help prolong battery life, it is recommended to remove the battery from vehicles stored ONE month or longer. To maximize the life of stored batteries, they should be kept in a cool / dry location. Batteries will self discharge more rapidly when stored in extreme temperatures. Batteries should be maintained using the recommended battery charger while in storage.

  3. Batteries will self-discharge more quickly when dirty. Periodic cleaning of the battery terminals using a terminal brush will help maximize battery life. Wash terminals with a solution of one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water. Rinse well with tap water and dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.

  4. Battery connections should be tightened to the correct torque during installation. This will reduce voltage drop and ensure a reliable connection between the regulator/rectifier and battery.

  5. Your motorcycle is conveniently equipped with a SAE bullet style connector for quick access to charging the battery. The connector is located behind the left-hand side V cover and taped to the chassis harness.

    Carefully remove the tape to expose the connector and length of wire. Be sure to properly secure the wire and connector before operating the vehicle.
