Important If battery minimum voltage is not ensured by a suitable battery charge maintainer, sulfation may occur. This is irreversible and will lead to decreasing battery performance. Note When the motorcycle is left unused (approximately for more than 30 days). We recommend owners to use the Ducati battery charge maintainer (Battery maintainer kit part no. 69924601A - various countries; Battery maintainer kit part no. 69924601AX - for Japan, China and Australia only) since its electronics monitors the battery voltage and features a maximum charge current of 1.5 Ah. Connect the maintainer to the diagnostics socket located in the rear end of the bike. Note Using charge maintainers not approved by Ducati could damage the electric system; vehicle warranty does not cover the battery if damaged due to failure to comply with the above indications, since it is considered as wrong maintenance. 188
