3.7Recharging the battery (250/300 XC)

Warning

Risk of injury Battery acid and battery gases cause serious cauterization.

–Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

–Wear suitable protective clothing and goggles.

–Avoid contact with battery acid and battery gases.

–Keep the battery away from sparks or open fire. Charge only in well ventilated rooms.

–Flush with copious amounts of water in case of skin contact. If battery acid comes into contact with the eyes, flush the

eyes with water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.

Warning

Environmental hazard Battery parts and acid are harmful to the environment.

–Do not discard batteries with the household trash. Dispose of a defective battery in an environmentally compatible manner.

Give the battery to your KTM dealer or to a recycling center that accepts used batteries.

Warning

Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.

–Oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaners, brake fluid, etc., should be disposed of as stipulated in applicable regulations.

Info

Even when there is no load on the battery, it still loses power steadily.

The charge state and the type of charge are very important for the service life of the battery.

Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the battery's service life.

If the charging current, charging voltage and charging time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the safety valves. This

reduces the battery capacity.

If the battery is depleted from starting the vehicle repeatedly, the battery must be charged immediately.

If the battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become over-discharged and sulfate, destroying the

battery.

The battery is maintenance-free, i.e., the acid level does not have to be checked.

–Switch off all power consumers and switch off the engine.

–Remove the seat. ( p. 7)

–Disconnect the negative cable of the battery to avoid damage to the motorcycle's

electronics.
