All batteries have to be charged before the first use. Lithium batteries may only be charged with a suitable charger (this should not deliver more than 15 V in any mode, e.g. part number 90018).

Attention: Please use the dimensions given to check whether the battery is really suitable for your motorcycle!

The energy taken from a battery must be replenished immediately. Batteries begin to sulfate (destruct themselves) at 12.4 volts. If you drive little, please check the battery every 6 weeks and be sure to recharge it from 12.5 volts - otherwise there is a risk of loss of performance and a significantly reduced service life! Connect seasonal vehicles to a suitable trickle charger!

Attention: The battery guard wire of the original lithium battery of the BMW R1300GS & Adventure must be closed with a dummy plug (see article 7678400)! The red arrow in picture 3 shows where the plug must be inserted for this.
