Battery Recharge - Husqvarna TE 250 Workshop Manual

BATTERY (TE-SMR; kit on TC)
The sealed battery (1) does not require any maintenance work. If the vehicle
remains unused for long periods, it is recommended to remove battery from
electrical system and store it in a dry place. After an intensive use of the battery,
it's advisable a standard low charge (12V-6Ah battery: 0.6A for 8 hours). Rapid
recharging is advised only in situations of extreme necessity since the life of
lead elements is reduced (6A for 0.5 hours with 12V-6Ah batteries).

Battery recharge

To gain access to the battery (1):
- remove the saddle (see page E.15);
- release elastic (2);
- first remove the BLACK negative cable, then the RED positive cable (when
reassembling, first connect the RED positive cable, then the BLACK negative
cable);
- remove the battery (1) from its housing.
Check, using a voltmeter, that battery voltage is not less than 12,5 V. If not, the battery needs to be charged. Using a battery charter
with a constant voltage, first connect the RED positive cable to the battery's positive terminal then the BLACK negative cable to the
battery's negative terminal. Apply to the constant voltage of 14,4 V a current of "x" Ampere as results in the belowe diagram (depending
on the amount of carging required). The voltage reaches a constant value only after a few hours, therefore it is suggested NOT to
measure it immediately after having charged or discharged the battery. Always check the charge level before reinstalling it on the
vehicle. The battery should be kept clean and the terminals coated with grease.
