Initial charging: Most problems with batteries today are due to improper initial activation. Newly activated batteries should always be charged before you install them into any motorcycle, otherwise they will lose at least 20% of their capacity. This will definitely result in a much shorter service life or other battery problems. Fill the battery to the indicated level or until the MF combi pack is empty. Charge the battery for three to five hours at the current equivalent of 1/10 of its rated capacity to get a full charge.
Failure caused by incorrect activation or charging is not a warranty issue. Further research by GS-Yuasa shows that 95% of alleged problems occurring with batteries that have been in service for more than a couple of months and have been left standing without charge are caused by sulfation. This is a condition where a crystal like material forms on the lead plates. When this chemical reaction happens, it is impossible to restore a full charge and the battery has to be replaced. This is NOT caused by a faulty battery, it is a fault with maintenance. Please ensure batteries are kept charged on a suitable charger when not in use.
