CAUTION!
Risk of chemical burns!
• The electrolyte in the battery is corrosive. Therefore, never open the battery. In
the event of contact with the skin or eyes, rinse off or out with plenty clear water
for several minutes and immediately seek medical attention.
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the lithium-ion battery can lead to damage to the battery.
• Do not open the battery, do not drill into it, and do not exert force on it.
• Protect the battery from violent mechanical impacts.
• Follow the safety instructions in the instructions for use for your motorcycle.
• Deep discharge of the battery leads to loss of capacity and can cause the
battery to freeze at corresponding temperatures.

5 | Initial start up

Check the battery and the scope of delivery.
1. Remove the battery from the packaging.
2. Check whether the delivery is complete (see Section 1.)
3. Check whether the battery or the individual parts are damaged. Contact the manufacturer
via the specified service address if they are.
4. Before it is used for the first time, the battery must be fully charged with a suitable charger.

6 | Use

6.1 | Correct battery type

First of all, check whether the battery fits in your motorcycle's battery compartment.
Because lithium-ion batteries have a much higher cranking power than conventional motorcycle
batteries, the number of ampere hours can be up to approx. 2/3 fewer than originally specified by
the manufacturer without any problems. Modern DELO lithium-ion batteries can be used instead of
conventional standard acid or AGM batteries in many situations, as long as the charging voltage in the
motorcycle's charging circuit does not exceed 14.6 V. Another feature of lithium-ion batteries is that
they can be installed in any position.

6.2 | Charging

DELO lithium-ion batteries are largely pre-charged, so they are capable of starting a motorcycle straight
from the packaging. Nevertheless, to ensure good long-term cranking power, we recommend using a
charger that is suitable for lithium-ion batteries with controlled charging characteristics to make sure
that your battery really is fully charged before you install it in your motorcycle. This is the only way
that you can be certain that you have installed a battery that is really fully charged and will deliver top
cranking power in your motorcycle. Charging voltages of up to 14.6 V are no problem for DELO lithium-
ion batteries; the optimum end-of-charge voltage is 14.4 V. Please also note the individual information
provided on the top of the battery in this regard.
You can see the charge level by pressing the Test button. If only one or two bars light up, charging is
highly recommended.
