How to Extend the Life of Your Motorcycle Battery Dur

Hi fellow riders,

Winter can be tough on motorcycles, especially the battery. Many of us face issues with bikes not starting after cold nights. Here are some practical tips to help you extend your battery life:

Keep it Charged:
Even if you don’t ride daily, connect your battery to a trickle charger. This keeps it at optimal charge without overcharging.

Avoid Short Rides:
Short rides don’t allow the battery to fully recharge. Try longer rides to maintain battery health.

Clean the Terminals:
Dirt and corrosion can reduce efficiency. Use a mixture of baking soda and water to clean the terminals.

Store Properly:
If you’re storing your bike for winter, remove the battery and keep it in a cool, dry place. Avoid freezing temperatures.

Check the Electrolyte Level (for Non-Sealed Batteries):
Low electrolyte levels can shorten battery life. Top up with distilled water if necessary.

Following these simple steps can save you from a lot of frustration during winter rides and prolong your battery’s life.
