Most motorcycle batteries using life can be usually 2-3 years if the user using it correctly. Things like extreme hot or cold weather or letting your battery sit for a long period of time without proper maintenance can have an effect on the lifespan and overall health of your battery.
Proper battery maintenance is vital for battery performance and overall life. Knowing how to properly maintain, charge, and store your batteries will make your batteries last longer.

All batteries have a self-discharge behavior. There are a number of reasons why over discharge. For examples, high temperatures, non use and trips that are not long enough to recharge the battery. In the below content, we will tell you how to use your motorcycle battery correctly:

1. Before starting the charging operation, please read the instructions that come with the charger. Do not attempt to charge the battery without first reading the instructions for the charger you are using. In addition to the charger manufacturer's instructions, the following general precautions should be followed.

● Always charge in a well-ventilated area
● Before connecting the battery, make sure the charger is turned off and/or unplugged to avoid dangerous sparks
● Please keep all sparks, flames and cigarettes away from the charging area
● Do not attempt to charge a visibly damaged or frozen battery
● Make sure the charger leads are securely connected to the battery terminals

2. Create a battery routine for maintenance and keep a consistent check below to help extend battery life:

● Keep the top of the battery free of dust and dirt
● Clean terminals and cable ends as necessary to ensure proper contact
● Inspect the battery box for obvious damage
● Check if the cable is loose and make sure it is not too tight
● Make sure the battery is tightly pressed and the battery is safe
● Do not remove the cover of the AGM/ sealed battery.

3.Many motorcycle enthusiasts are forced to store their ride during part of the year due to inclement weather or less than desirable riding conditions. If you don't use your bike for a long time, and you leave the battery in the motorcycle, we recommend that you start your motorcycle at least every few weeks and let it run for about 10-15 minutes. There are also the following recommended methods for storage:

● Remove the battery from the motorcycle
● Fully charged the battery and remove the battery from the charger
● Store the battery in a cool, dry place, between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit

If you've stored the battery for more than six months, take it out and charge it again. We do not recommend that you leave the battery on any type of charger or maintainer for any length of time, as most of these devices will cause the battery to overcharge.

The rate of self-discharge depends largely on the storage temperature. The lower temperature allows the battery to last longer. The higher the temperature, the shorter the storage time. Storage temperature is recommended between 45 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
