We will verify your battery for damage, leak or corrosion on the terminals and connectors. We will put the battery on a load tester, for free, to determine if the battery just needs a full charge or needs to be replaced. You will get the correct diagnostic as to whether we can save your battery or if you need to replace it. Come see our huge battery selection, available, in store. We will prepare and/or charge the battery and have it ready for you to install or we can install it for you free.

Recommendations

Keep the battery charged to 100% by using a battery tender. This will monitor the state of charge to keep the battery at 100% without over charging so you can leave the battery tender connected when not using your motorcycle. Other than that, follow this simple check list every month:

• Electrolyte level

• Keep the top free of grime

• Check cables, clamps, and case for obvious damage or loose connections

• Clean terminals and connectors as necessary

• Check inside for excessive sediment, sulfating or mossing

• Make sure the exhaust tube is free of kinks and clogs

• Replace caps firmly

 

If the motorcycle is in storage or used infrequently, disconnect the battery cable to eliminate drain from electrical equipment. Charge the battery every two weeks. 

 

For extended storage, remove the battery from the motorcycle and charge to 100%. Charge the battery every month if stored at temperatures below 60° F. If stored in a warm area (above 60° F), charge every two weeks. Make sure batteries are stored out of reach of children.
