A well-maintained battery is the key to your vehicle’s reliability and performance. Regular care not only ensures consistent starts but also prevents unexpected failures on the road. With the right maintenance and charging practices, you can maximize your battery’s lifespan, maintain optimal performance, and enjoy peace of mind every time you ride. LEAD ACID BATTERY 13V Top Condition - 100% 12.8V Good battery - 75% 12.5V Needs recharging - 50% 12.2V Urgent recharge needed - 25% < 12V Dead battery - 0% LITHIUM BATTERY > 13.3V Top Condition 13V - 12.8V Needs Recharging 12.8V - 12.5V Immediate Recharge Required 2.5V - 0V Deep Discharge CLEAN & INSPECT Regularly check terminals and cables. Remove corrosion with a brush or suitable cleaner. Tighten connections to avoid voltage drops and premature battery wear. TEST FREQUENTLY Use the BST1000 Tester to monitor voltage, battery health and internal resistance. Detect early signs of sulfation or degradation and act before failure. If the measured voltage is low, a charge is recommended. Here below the battery voltage information per technology CHARGE SMARTLY Before charging, always check your battery’s voltage (6V or 12V) and verify the charger’s compatibility with your battery technology: Lead Acid or LiFePO4. Selecting the proper charging current based on battery capacity is also critical: BATTERY TYPE RECOMMENDED CHARGING CURRENT (A) MAXIMUM CHARGING CURRENT (A) RECOMMENDED CHARGER LEAD-ACID 0.1– 0.2 × BATTERY CAPACITY (AH) 0.3 × BATTERY CAPACITY (AH) BS10 / BS15 / BS30 / BS30MAX / BS60 / BK20 LIFEPO4 0,5 - 1 × BATTERY CAPACITY (AH) 2 × BATTERY CAPACITY (AH) BS10 / BS30 / BS30MAX / BK20 Example: BTZ7S ( 6Ah) = Recommended charging current is 0.1 to 0.2x6Ah = 0.6A to 1.2A | Max charging current is 0.3x6Ah = 1.8A Example: BSLi-02 ( 2Ah) = Recommended charging current is 0.5 to 1 x2Ah = 1A to 2A | Max charging current is 2x2Ah = 4A Use a BS BATTERY smart charger is essential to prevent overcharging, overheating, and capacity loss – all of which shorten battery life. RIDE REGULARLY & AVOID DEEP DISCHARGE Frequent riding helps maintain proper charge cycles and prevents sulfation. Long inactivity causes voltage drops and capacity loss. Never allow your battery voltage to fall below the recommended level — deep discharge can cause irreversible damage (sulfation). For seasonal or occasional use, connect your battery to a BS BATTERY maintainer charger. STORE PROPERLY Keep batteries in a cool, dry place away from sunlight or heat sources. Extreme temperatures accelerate chemical degradation and self-discharge. If stored for a long period, disconnect the battery from the vehicle and perform a maintenance charge every 2–3 months for Lead Acid and every 6 months for LiFePO4.
