Factory battery initial charge?

Z-Rider · 04-16-2021, 03:18 PM

Bike just arrived but I won’t be working on it tonight. As far as charging the stock battery after filling. Do you put the caps back in while charging or leave them out like old school?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I don't think it matters. I know I left mine in with no issues.

After I filled my battery, I let it sit for an hour before charging. I installed the caps before charging.

I filled mine, let it sit over night, then charged it on 2amp for 12 hours.

surprisingly, mine came with a full charge. i didn't have a tender, so i just filled it, let it sit, took it to advance and they said it read fully charged. it worked immediately. mine must have been a fluke

For safety reasons, leave the caps off during the initial charge.

Left the caps off for the first 6 hours at 2 amps. It’s not capped and on a tender/maintenance charge overnight

Thanks for the info everyone.

The batteries on the Brozz bikes are supposedly shipped pre-charged. You could add the acid let it sit to stabilize and use it to start the bike. My battery showed fully charged in less than 30 minutes on a 1 amp charger.
