Motorcycle batteries are generally 12V, such as 12V5AH, 12V7AH, 12V9AH, etc. Inspection and replenishment of battery fluid level: The fluid level of a motorcycle battery must be between the upper and lower limits, and must never fall below the lower limit. If it is below the lower limit, it should be replenished promptly. When replenishing, do not add dilute sulfuric acid, as this will damage the battery due to excessively high electrolyte concentration. Never add tap water, river water, etc., as these contain calcium, magnesium ions, and impurities. Below are more maintenance details: Pre-charging state inspection of the battery: Check whether the motorcycle battery voltage is below the standard value. If possible, test whether the specific gravity of the electrolyte is below 1.28 (20°C). Observe the inside of the battery; if one or several battery cells are corroded, the plates have turned white, there is material accumulation at the bottom, or the plates are warped, the battery should be replaced. If the battery terminals are very dirty, corroded, or oxidized, they can be cleaned with a wire brush. If cleaning is insufficient, a few drops of electrolyte can be used to corrode the surface, followed by wiping dry with clean water. Battery charging: This is a crucial part of motorcycle battery maintenance and directly affects the battery's lifespan. When charging, the current should not be too high, and it is recommended not to use fast charging. During charging, unsealed batteries should have their caps opened and should be charged in a well-ventilated area away from open flames to prevent accidents caused by hydrogen gas generated during charging. Post-charging inspection of the battery: After charging, the battery should be checked after resting for 30 minutes; otherwise, the battery's state cannot be accurately reflected. A 12V battery should reach or exceed 12.8V. If it is below 12.7V, further charging is needed. If it is below 12V, the battery is damaged and should be replaced.
