Title: battery help
Post by: bakwoi on May 16, 2009, 12:09:37 PM
Hi,

I have just experienced my first dead battery.  When I bought the bike the dude threw in a new battery and acid to fill it.  So I have this CB10L-B2 battery but I have no instructions on how to fill it.  Are there instructions anywhere online? I also want to pick up a charger, does anyone have suggestions?   Thanks.

Here is a site with a battery set-up video.  Some batteries come with neat fill 'em all at once dispensers and some come with more tedious fioo one at a time old fashioned ones.  After the new acid has settled in for about an hour or tow, charge the battery to full capacity - otherwise it will never develope full capacity.

Thanks, I got the charger and now am attempting to fill the battery.  It didn't come with instructions but there is a sticker that says to "remove and discard the sealed tube before filling with acid."  What does this mean?  Also the acid is in one big container with a plastic tube.  Do i just prick a hole in the top of the acid container, attach the tube, and fill up each of the wells with acid?

Thanks.
