Does a new motorcycle battery need to be charged first?
1 Answers
A new motorcycle battery does not need to be charged first. Generally, it should be charged when only two or three bars remain. For the first charge of a new battery, use the original charger for about 10 hours, but do not exceed 12 hours, as this may affect the battery's lifespan. Here are some precautions for motorcycle battery charging: Master the charging time: The average charging time is about 8 hours. It is best to charge the battery when the discharge depth is 60-70%. In practical use, this can be converted into riding mileage. Charge as necessary based on actual conditions to avoid harmful charging. Avoid storing in a discharged state: The longer the battery is left idle in a discharged state, the more severe the damage will be. When the battery is not in use, charge it once a month to extend its lifespan.
