Harley Davidson Battery
Today a bike depends on a good battery. Not just to get it started, sound the horn, turn on the headlight, but complete engine management amongst other things require it. So it is important to have a good heavy duty one, yet not be heavy enough to compromise performance. If you have a heavily upgraded electrical system with the latest gadgets then as well as a high amperage rated battery, you will also need to upgrade the alternator to match the battery. Bike batteries have a lifespan of ten years on average, however this varies according to their use, demands, and maintence. Keeping a battery on trickle charge when it is not in use for a long period is a good ideal and helps prolong the life of the battery. Sometimes there is a need to replace and get a new one so this guide is going to cover how to do this in ten simple steps. First find out the correct battery size. There is not an universal battery size for Harleys, they have changed over time so be sure to check what you actually need. Next check your electrical requirements. Unless you have done big upgrades to your electrical system then you should purchase a battery with the same rating as the original battery. Third turn off your engine and remove your old battery. Be careful with any mounts that hold it down. Next your new battery may or may not come charged. Plugging it into a battery charger before use will not hurt if, it they are charged already then you can skip this step. Replace your new battery where your old one was. Pay extra attention to the positive and negative terminals as getting this wrong could severely damage the electrical system of your Harley. Number six is to check and correct any corrosion on the battery connector terminals. If there is some, it will have a chalky appearance, scrub it off with a wire brush to reveal clean shiny metal. Cover the terminals in a lubricated electrolyte. Vaseline is good for this, this prevents corrosion of the battery terminals in the future. It is not essential, but it helps maintain the area for the future and is standard during a mechanical service. Number eight is to connect the wires up to the battery correctly and tighten them up so they ave a firm grip on the battery terminals. Next replace all covers and start your engine. It is advisable to ride for at least thirty minutes now so the alternator can charge the battery up to its required amount. That's it, you are done.
