J&P Cycles Pro Tips: How To Fill and Prep a New Motorcycle Battery 

Thanks so much guys, this 73 year old has lost some self confidence with such like DIY! Yours was a tremendous help. From South Africa

i brought a new battery and this is exactly what i need to see and know Thank's

Exactly what i needsd in changing my first battery today. Much appreciated and helpful as im tired of paying people to do what i am capable of.

This helped. At first thought I would have to poor one at a time but this is super easy. It’s great that it’s quick and almost idiot proof.

Awesome video, clear and concise. Been riding since 2017 and never needed to replace a battery on a bike until now. I love that you are activating the battery when you get it, thus its as fresh as possible...not sitting in a shelf for months.

Thank you Bryan, things I didn't use last time I acid-packed: "Time and Patience" - - I'm getting a similar battery soon. Peace in Christ. 🧑🏻JB

I don’t have the alligator clips to hook up directly to the battery, but I do have it hardwired to my battery thru my motorcycle. Can I just install the battery and charge it through my bikes connection

I have Yuasa Ytz12s model and i don't see the way hot to opetn the top...it looks different than this model. Pls help

Thanks, takes time to proper prep the battery . Here a battery seller (Bali, Indonesia) filled up(1 minute, piercing holes) and (over)charged with a car battery in 5 min only , new (made in China , brand Jaguar ?!)battery but bad cranking (not full capacity) ...Now I bought a Yuasa one(YTX 9-BS) and filled up and charged (with electronic trickle tender charger, max 2 Amps) myself. China battery 30$, Yuasa 40$, not much more than the china one.

What is the shelf life of an unfilled AGM battery?

I'm glad i saw video

I was trying to read the instructions that came with my new battery but the language was SO BAD that I ended up here. No problem now! I work with people from all around the globe and we struggle with language sometimes but this battery thing was BADDDD!!

Good night I buy new quad bike battery I luck know how is prepare ?

Quick question... I sent my Ecu to be Flashed and im waiting to come back, I also order a brand new battery and just arrived todays, once I finish with the charge, can I leave it plugged to the battery tender for a few days until my ecu comes back? Or... should i unplug it and store the battery in a safe place until ready to use?

Doesn’t positive lead goes on first?

my new battery instruction manual said to charge it for 5-10 hrs before installing... i can just skip that step? THANKS!!!

So if im in a rush , do i have to charge it or can i just chuck it on and start my bike up?

Do you have to charge the battery before putting it on the bike? What if you don't have a charger

I forgot to let it sit for like 10mins after putting the acid in. Should I be worried

340👍

My battery didn't ship with the acid. Silly question, but you can't just add distilled water?

Here making sure I didn't do anything wrong. Bought a new battery, filled it and it has 0.0 volts and obviously won't charge. It must just be a junk battery

As routine as this seemingly simple job is he should have plenty water ready at hand in case of mishap. Gloves and goggles on. Water ready in a clean squeezy bottle for flushing the eyes in case the worst happens. I've seen someone get Caustic Soda in one eye and it was instant agony and panic for him, immediately blinded in both eyes by tears and pain thrashing around looking for water. Happened as I walked in the room. He was lucky someone came in. Recommend to carry out this work on a steady, uncluttered bench or on the floor ideally in a basin to contain any spill. Also with PPE worn needs to carefully flush out the acid container with water before chuckin it. Juggling those live crocodiles in his hands? Could get a little spark and gas burn if not careful. Only energise charger after clips attached, positive on first and off last. Be safe or could be sorry forever. Just saying.

Battery Acids Can Be Corrosive.

You really should just watch the Yuasa channel so you get the proper instructions. This guy apparently didn’t.

Does it have to be charged before using

No gloves or safety glasses?

This guy doesn't seem too bright. No safety gloves no safety glasses. What kind of example is he setting? Come on JP cycles.
