| How to charge your Motorcycle Batteries |
| 2009-06-04 23:36:59 |
( Motorcycle Batteries )Charging a motorcycle battery is essential to getting winterized bikes back on the road or restoring vintage motorcycles. Motorcycle batteries are a bit more complicated than car batteries in terms of charging, however by following these simple steps your battery should be charged and you back on the road in no time.1 Begin by estimating the current charge in the battery. Unscrew one of the top caps and insert the hydrometer into the well, suck up some electrolyte and see how many balls float. Use the chart associated with the hydrometer to determine the charge level. Step 2 Add deionized water to the wells if the level is below the minimum fill line. You will need to unscrew each of the caps and fill each well separ...

| How to choose your motorcycle battery ( The Motorcycle Batteries ) |
| 2009-05-29 02:47:07 |
( The Motorcycle Batteries ) Once you realize how important a battery is for your bike you'll want to look for the right one. Watch for the following aspects: size, amps, volts and extra capacity. Size seems logical but unlike a car where you can get away with a different size.. on a bike this is not recommended. When you check the amps - you are actually looking at the pure power the battery has without help from the engine. The capacity is more or less how long the motorcycle battery would work without being charged. So, you might be thinking I'll set up my bike with a damn big powerful battery and get rocking down the road. Sorry. Don't do this. A battery and engine have been so closely designed to meet exactly what your bike needs. All those small aspects like polarity, vent tubes etc...

| Push start a motorcycle ( The Motorcycle Batteries ) |
| 2009-05-29 02:46:04 |
( The Motorcycle Batteries )Have you experienced a dead battery of your motorcycle? What did you do to start your motorcyle? Using a kick starter is one of the option, but there is another way ; pust start your motorcycle. But remember, this method not applicable to all type of motorcycle.Push-starting a motorcycle is a useful trick when you have a dead battery or the engine won't turn over. It starts the engine quickly without using the battery by using the momentum of the motorcycle.# Turn the key to the "on" position.# Put the bike in neutral.# Make sure the engine kill switch is in the on position.# Check the fuel valve to make sure that fuel is being supplied to the engine. Basically, just make sure that you've done everything you normally do when starting your bike, but don't hit...

| How to ensure the optimum functionality of your motorcycle batteries? |
| 2009-05-29 02:45:38 |
( Motorcycle Batteries )It seems an extremely practical requirement that riders of motorcycles should inform themselves of their own bike battery rating. They should also be well informed about the necessary regular maintenance requirements of their bike battery, as well as top ups that may be necessary, in order to prolong the life span of their bicycle battery as well as ensure optimum performance. Voltage levels as well as the specific gravity of the battery should be checked to circumvent annoying inconveniences on the run. Salt deposits can build up over a period of time, on the lead terminal that keeps the electrodes in place. Regular attention to cleaning these terminals would provide contact assurance which is of immense value to the running of the bike, and such cleaning also cont...

| Battery Charging ( The Motorcycle Batteries ) |
| 2009-03-19 03:30:38 |
( The Motorcycle Batteries )To charge your motorcycle battery, just follow below steps.Conventional type1) Remove the packing & yellow stoppers from the top of the battery. Remove the cap from the end of the breather nipple located at the top on the side of the battery. 2) Fill each of the holes in the top of the battery with battery acid up to the upper level mark on the front of the battery (do not replace the yellow stoppers yet) 3) Charge the battery for 3-4 hours with a motorcycle battery charger 4) After charging, disconnect the battery from the charger & leave to settle for 1 hour...

| Type of Motorcycle Batteries |
| 2009-02-23 23:12:08 |
( The Motorcycle Batteries )Motorcycle batteries are very similar to car batteries in that there are, essentially, two types to consider. Conventional batteries have chambers holding metal plates in an acidic electrolyte solution and require regular maintenance. The other is a maintenance-free battery.Conventional batteries are ideal for vehicles that are driven in hotter climate. Since the battery is not sealed, water can be added if needed.A maintenance free battery in general has a longer operational life, faster recharging time and longer shelf life. However, they are prone to failures due to shedding of an actie plate material that weakens over time.Other than above, they are also different type of batteries ;YuMicron Motorcycle BatteriesYuMicron CX Motorcycle BatteriesAlways make sur...

| How Long Should Battery Last ( 2nd part ) |
| 2009-02-02 23:00:53 |
( The Motorcycle Batteries )... continue from 1st partToo High a Battery Charge LevelYes, there are those who overcharge the battery. The usual belief is that during overcharge, the battery may lose some water which can then be easily replaced. Not so exactly. During overcharging, there is an abundance of oxygen gas released from the decomposition of water in the electrolyte. That passes through the cell areas and oxidizes the positive plates of the battery. This oxidation impairs the conduction of electricity and reduces the capacity of the battery.Low Electrolyte SolutionThis is usually an owner induced problem due to neglect and will subtract from battery longevity. It can also happen from long trips where the battery is continually fully charged and yet continues to charge, decomposing...

| How Long Should Battery Last |
| 2009-01-29 22:08:55 |
( The Motorcycle Battery )A battery is a living electro-chemical device and starts dying the day it is born, or more precisely, the minute it is activated from dry charge status. During the course of its use, it deteriorates gradually. Under the best of circumstances, will last approximately 5-7 years given optimum care.What in particular damages the battery and limits its life?Internal HeatingDuring the course of starting a vehicle, the starter draws tremendous current, in the vicinity of several hundred amperes. All batteries have internal electrical resistance. Some of the energy that is intended for external use (starting etc.) stays within the battery itself and produces internal heating. We know that the 12 1/2 to 13 volts at the battery drops to perhaps 9 volts under starting. Assum...

| Motorcycle Batteries Introduction |
| 2009-01-22 03:56:20 |
( Motorcycle Batteries ) Motorcycles are a bundle of energy, if there was ever one, condensed tightly into the smallest space. With all the trappings of modern man it makes sense to make the ride as easy and comfortable as possible. The lights, blinkers, indicators, audio gizmos and whatnots of technological advances that flood man in this age and time all demand clean power to be fed incessantly. And the most popular and reliable source that has served the purposes most conveniently and adequately is the motorcycle battery. It is capable of supplying increasingly larger and maintenance free DC power without lots of fuss. Motorcycle batteries vary by brand. Choosing motorcycle batteries involves several important factors. You need to know a good bit about your bike in order to purchase...
