Overcharging usually happens via the following sequence of events in no particular order.

To guard against overcharging always use a Powersports specific automatic charger with a dedicated AGM mode, or a Motobatt Powersports charger. Drying out the battery by boiling it, and creating too much heat will warp the plates, create shorts and even melt welds inside the battery. To avoid this punitive treatment of the battery, always keep it on a maintainer so it is muscled up ready to go.Ĭonversely overcharging a battery can be even worse and significantly reduce the batteries life. Loading the battery from lower voltages causes the battery voltage to drop even further under load which hurts the battery since you are asking too much from it.

Maintaining a battery at full state of charge will dramatically increase its life, since each time you load the battery to start the engine, this creates a sudden voltage drop and pulls off charge from the battery which is not immediately replaced. Voltage should be checked as accurate once the battery has been sitting for at least 2 hours after charging or a ride.Īs a rule of thumb battery charge rates can be understood as per below:Ī battery showing lower voltage than 12.0V may be severely discharged and require a special charger like a Motobatt fully automatic AGM charger. (the battery disconnected and standing by itself) This voltage will give you an indication on the voltage and overall charge rate of the battery. The first part of the battery charging process should always be to check the open circuit charge voltage of the battery. This is just one of the reasons Motobatt Quadflex battery is a great choice since the guesswork has been done and the factory have activated the battery to maximize its lifetime potential.

It is not widely understood that the most damage a battery may incur is from initial activation stage, since at times the correct commissioning procedure is not followed due to customers being in a hurry and people cutting corners. While this blog is for Motobatt batteries, the same process is true for any sealed powersport battery.įor other types of batteries which require watering or acid filling, careful commissioning is required to get the most useable life and performance from your battery.

For charging, it only needs to have the correct charger with an AGM algorithm applied, making it a very safe and acid free process.

Motobatt Quadflex is a Sealed Factory Activated AGM (absorbed glass matt) battery.
