Recommendations to maintain battery health
during prolonged parking conditions
While your vehicle is parked for prolonged duration,
battery continues to discharge and if left unattended
can get completely discharged. It is recommended to
ride the vehicle for minimum 60 km every week to
keep the battery in healthy condition This could be at
a stretch in one ride or several rides during the week.
The vehicle speed will vary during the ride but an
average speed of minimum 30 kmph will be helpful
to ensure proper battery charging. Use kick-starting,
if available, to conserve battery charge during such
period. This is only a recommendation to maintain
battery charge and regular service schedules must
be followed to maintain your vehicle in good running
condition.
The following is recommendations to users regarding
battery maintenance before, during and after long
storage of battery:
1. Before Storage
a. Store the battery only after fully charging it
b. Battery fuse to be disconnected and stored
safely. This will reduce the sleep mode current
and hence enhance storage life of battery.*
c. Alternatively, battery connecting wires (positive
and negative wires) can be disconnected and
fasteners can be secured with battery terminals.*
2. During Storage
a. Store it at room temperature or lower.
b. Store the vehicle in the shade and protected from
rain and cover the vehicle to prevent rodents from
entering and damaging the wires.
3. After Storage
a. Connect the wires and fuse, if disconnected
earlier, with ignition switch in OFF position*
b. Start the vehicle by kick starting.
(Above recommendations do not consider storage
effects on other systems such as induction and
fuel systems and wheels)
Periodic Maintenance of Batteries:
• Keep top of battery clean.
• Check cables, clamps, and case for obvious
damage or loose connections.
• Clean terminals and connectors as necessary.
