Battery; Battery Charge - SWM RS 125 R 2020 Handbuch - Gebrauch - Wartung

BATTERY

The battery does not require any maintenance.
If electrolyte leaks, or other failure of the electrical
system, are detected, contact the SWM Dealer.
If the vehicle remains unused for long periods (
weeks/1 month), it is recommended to disconnect the
battery from the electrical system and store it in a dry
place.
After an intensive use of the battery, it is advisable
-
to carry out a standard slow charging cycle (12V-6Ah
battery: 0.6A for 8 hours).
Quick charging is advised only in situations of
-
extreme need since the life of lead elements is
drastically reduced by such cycle (12V-6Ah battery:
6A for 0.5 hours).

BATTERY CHARGE

To gain access to the battery (1):
remove the seat as described in the relevant
3 -
≥
paragraph;
first remove the BLACK or BLUE negative cable and
-
then the RED positive cable (when refitting, first
connect the RED positive cable and then the BLACK or
BLUE negative cable);
remove the battery (1) from its housing.
-
Check, using a voltmeter, that battery voltage is not
less than 12.5 V.
If this is not the case, the battery needs to be charged.
Using a battery charger with a constant voltage, first
connect the RED positive cable to the battery positive
terminal then the BLACK or BLUE negative cable to the
battery negative terminal.
The voltage reaches a constant value only after a few
hours, therefore it is recommended NOT to measure it
immediately after having charged or discharged the
battery.
Always check the battery charge before reinstalling it
on the vehicle.
The battery should be kept clean and the terminals
coated with grease.
WARNING
The battery contains sulphuric acid. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
REMEDIES:
CONTACT WITH THE SKIN: Flush with plenty
of water.
INGESTION: Drink large quantities of
water. Seek medical advice immediately.
Do not induce vomiting.
CONTACT WITH THE EYES: Flush with water
for no less than 15 minutes and seek
medical attention.
WARNING
In case of limited use, the battery has to
be in any case recharged with slow cycle
(12V-6Ah battery: 0.6 A for 8 hours) at
least every 3 weeks.
WARNING
Batteries produce explosive gas, ventilate
when charging or using the battery
indoors. When using a battery charger,
always connect the battery to the charger
before turning it on. This procedure
prevents sparks at the battery terminals
which could ignite any battery gases.
