Plus tips for longevity

We will also give you tips on how you can extend the life of your battery with a charger.
Step-by-step instructions for changing the battery:
1. Switch on ignition:
This prevents an electrical flashover from occurring if you pull the main fuse.
Note: Ignition remains switched on = ON throughout the entire process from points 1 to 72. Remove main fuse:
The main fuse is often located near the battery. By removing them, you protect your motorcycle's electrical system.3. Remove negative pole first:
Disconnect the negative terminal (black) first to avoid short circuits.4. Remove positive pole:
Then remove the positive pole (red).5. Remove battery:
Now you can loosen the brackets and/or carefully remove the old battery directly.6. Insert new battery:
When installing the new battery, first connect the positive pole (red) and then the negative pole (black).
7. Then insert the main fuse in the reverse order and only then switch off the ignition again.
Otherwise there is a free honking of the alarm system for the neighborhood.
Support longevity with a charger with trickle mode:
What is a so-called maintenance device? A Battery Tender is a charger specifically for Harley-Davidson motorcycle batteries.
It ensures that your battery is optimally charged and extends its lifespan.
Advantages:
The device charges and discharges the battery with the optimal charging voltage, which is particularly important when the motorcycle is stationary for long periods. Even if the battery remains installed, the Battery Tender simulates driving behavior so that the battery remains "fresh" and is always ready for use.
Conclusion:
With this simple method you can change the battery on your Harley-Davidson safely and efficiently. By using a charger you ensure that your battery is always in top shape, even if your bike is stationary for a long time.
