To change the battery on a HYOSUNG COMET 125, follow these steps:
1. Check for Damage: Inspect the battery container. If there are cracks or electrolyte leaks, replace the battery.
2. Clean Terminals: If terminals are rusty or have a white powdery substance, clean them using sandpaper.
3. Remove Old Battery: - Disconnect the battery terminals. - Carefully remove the battery from its compartment.
4. Install New Battery: - Fill the new battery with electrolyte as required. - Tap the bottom two or three times to remove air bubbles. - Remove empty electrolyte containers slowly to avoid vapor release. - Insert caps firmly into the filler holes so they are flush with the battery top.
5. Check Voltage: - Measure voltage with a pocket tester. - If below 12.0V DC, recharge the battery.
6. Reconnect: Connect the battery terminals, ensuring correct polarity.
7. Check Charging System: - Start the engine and run at 5,000 rpm. - Measure DC voltage at the battery; it should be between 14.0–15.0V. - If not, check the magneto and regulator/rectifier.
Replace the battery if it's sulfated, has been unused in cold climate, or cannot hold charge.
