After you decide which battery is the best option for your machine it's important to properly activate your new battery so you get the most life out of it. In this video we go over battery basics and activation, including how to fill and activate a motorcycle or ATV conventional or AGM battery. The conventional or lead/ acid battery requires your to manually fill each cell with acid and then fully charge the battery before installing it onto your machine. If you decided to go with a Maintenance Free or AGM battery for your machine there are a few differences that we'll explain so you activate and charge it properly. We want you to get the most life out of your new battery and following these basic battery filling and charging guidelines is going to help extend the life of that battery. For tips on maintaining your battery please refer to our ... If you aren't sure which battery is the best option for your machine check our our • Motorcycle & ATV Batte... video. Rocky Mountain ATV/MC carries a wide variety of batteries to power all your motorcycle, ATV, and side by side needs!

HUGELY helpful, thank you! I've never had a battery I had to fill myself so this was incredibly helpful in making me feel like I did everything the right way. Much appreciated

@oscarfarley4104 4 года назад

shouldn't you wait an hour or so and then recheck the levels before charging, as well as letting the battery cool, before charging? You make it sound like you just fill, cap, and charge.

@jaggerpawlowsky9713 Год назад

Always let it sit for an hour or two after filling, let all the spaces fill up and fill each cell if need be. Then cap it. Charge it and let her rip.

@utskurenbiff6659 9 лет назад

Thanks for the video. I got a question, the battery we got only had a short instruction and we only got one hose, since the instruction said to hook up the hose to the vent "plugg" we thought this also was the way to fill the battery. So we hooked up the other side of the vent hose to the acid pack and turned it up-side-down and it started to fill slowly. Filled the battery without problem to the upper level (through the vent plugg). My question is if we might have damaged anything with the vent plugg. And also, after first charge, should the acid change battery?

@rmatvmc 9 лет назад

Utskuren Biff The vent system should be fine. What are you referring to "..acid change battery?" As long as each of the cells have been filled to the correct level and then fully charged it should be fine to run. Thanks for watching

So if "like I think I had was a old battery"a battery has lost allot of its acid and its been filled time and time again with water to the point that it has a low charge rate,but appears to still have fluid levels between the marks upper&lower then what happens to the acid-is it almost nothing but water at that point? Like how many times do you have to re-fill a battery in its life before you have to add more acid (if you do that at all)?

@thecaveman123 5 лет назад

Great video. I just received a Prima CB9-B battery for my scooter. It looks just very similar to the first battery you filled. An exhaust tube came with the battery, but it didn't come with one that attaches to the nozzle so I can pour the fluid in. The place I bought it from said to just put the nozzle directly in the cell holes. I'm worried this is going to cause a mess. Should I just use a funnel?

@rmatvmc 5 лет назад

If you're worried about spilling it everywhere you can definitely use a small funnel or you can even make your own nozzle by using a spare piece of fuel line or vent tubing if you have that. Thanks for watching!

@rmatvmc 5 лет назад

If your charger has a float mode on it, doing that would not cause any problems. With that said, I would suggest waiting until you're a little closer to when you'll actually be using it just because there's no reason to fill it then leave on a charger for 2 months. Thanks for watching!

@namlethanh4638 8 лет назад

Hi, thanks for the great video. Just a question, can i use the battery just after filling the acid in (as I don't have the charger)? I've always thought that the electricity generated when running the scooter will gradually charge the battery?

@rmatvmc 8 лет назад

To get the full battery life out of the battery would be to charge it first. The stator doesn't put out enough electricity to charge a battery's first charge. Your battery will be at around 80% battery life after filling it with acid, so yes you can run it after you have filled it.. but i would recommend you charge it after.

@thund3rbolt 2 года назад

Good video but a couple of things people should know. On an AGM battery with ratings of less than 18 AH, let the battery stand for 20 to 60 minutes. For batteries with higher AH ratings or having the High Performance rating (designated by an “H” in the part number/name), allow the battery to stand for 1 to 2 hours before starting the charging process. This allows electrolytes to permeate into the plates for optimum performance and longer life. Also, I recommend you keep the caps or plate off the battery for the initial first charge so it can vent better during the stand process.

@ginawalker9286 Год назад

I have a kymco c1 125 cc motor bike. from 2015. So I am new and scared of stupid batteries and these videos are not really helping me at all. I have watched a video or 10 ha! how to take out the battery from this model of bike. Aas the battery was dead, well not powering at all. So I have managed to take out the battery from its housing on the left side and lost a back screw bolt because I was too scared of ekectrocution. So I have the battery charger a noco genius 1. In uk. So three pin ok? I have no screws in the terminals because I unscrewed them and lost the bolt into the bike. So the battery is out sitting on the floor and so I am looking at it and have no clue whatsoever how to charge it. The instruction manual for the charger is totally vague. The battery is flat. Should I clip the alligator clips to the apropriate terminals, with out the screws on or clip them to the round housings where the housing screws I took off and dropped the back nut off by fear of touching it due to internet fear mongers? So, sorry but what do I have to connect? The alligator clips? Or the round screws or? Ahh, this is sillyness

@danielpatrick368 7 месяцев назад

Should be on their directions. Mine says to sit for an hour to allow all gas escape. I have the diehard power ahead... Guess it's high performance.

@hammadasghar_2955 5 лет назад

@_Peremalfait 4 года назад

So I'm a little confused. The Battery you're charging says 5.5AH, and you're using a charger which says it charges at 1a. 10% of 5.5 is .55a. How strict a rule is your 10% rule? Or is any amperage below 3 okay to use on a MC battery? My battery is10ah, and I was thinking of buying a Battery Tender Junior for it, which charges at .750a. Is it okay for amps to be under the 10%?

@rmatvmc 8 лет назад

+Nimesh Kumar What bike are you riding, Year, Make, Model? The trickle charger should be plenty to charge your battery but it shouldn’t need to be charged every single day. If the battery is getting drained too quickly it sounds like your bike isn’t producing enough power to handle that light.

I filled my brand new lead acid battery and started charging it with a battery tender junior. I left it overnight and noticed when I woke up that one of the fill plugs popped off (landed on the other side of the room) and there was acid on the top of the battery and on the ground. Can you give any reason why this would happen? Should I return it? Possible user error? I read somewhere that the vent cap needs to be off while charging. I put it back on after filling it and while charging..

Very helpful video. Silly question perhaps, but if I don’t have a charger, can I simply replace the battery in the scooter and then let the scooter’s engine charge the battery whilst running? Thanks 👍🏻

@rmatvmc 4 года назад

It will depend on the type of battery but a lot of lead-acid batteries will need to be filled with acid so it won't have enough of a charge to start your bike without being charged first. But if you get a battery that has enough of a charge to start your bike, it is possible to install it without charging but most batteries will have a longer life if they are properly charged before installation.

@tetsuoshima7385 4 года назад

*Austin Allen* that is good practice. I personally do it, but most acid type batteries will have a vent tab on them, where you can attach a breather hose. This vent helps any air bubbles to escape.

So do I put the vent plug back on, liquid is coming out as it charges

@randomscience4k 4 года назад

Yes, the vent plugs can be put back after filling acid or topping with water as there is a side vent port with to remove gas built up . If you filled the acid initially or added distilled water to top it off and made sure to keep the electrolyte level at the "UPPER LEVEL" mark then the battery acid should not come out through the vent hole. There will be some bubbling during the charging process due to the release of hydrogen gas. If you have not overfilled then it's likely your charging voltage is too high.

@danielpatrick368 7 месяцев назад

After you charge it say you spilled a little (not below bottom line though) when installing. Can you top off with extra acid or do you have to use distilled water at that point?

If your battery was ran dry it probably won't have a very long life but you certainly can fill it with acid and attempt to charge it. Battery acid can should be able to be obtained at your local auto parts store.
