Battery
Your Honda SXS has a maintenance-free type battery. You do not
have to check the battery electrolyte level or add distilled water as
you would with a conventional-type battery.
NOTICE
Your battery is a maintenance-free type and can be permanently
damaged if the cap strip is removed.
Electrical accessories use current from the battery, some even when
the ignition is OFF (w). Limited operation of your Honda SXS also
allows the battery to discharge. If you have electrical accessories on
your Honda SXS, or do not drive frequently, we recommend that you
charge the battery frequently (see Battery Charging, page 196).
If you do not expect to drive your Honda SXS for at least two weeks,
we recommend you remove the battery, or at least disconnect the
battery cables (negative cable first).
If you plan to store your Honda SXS, see Battery Storage, page 193.
If your battery seems weak and/or is leaking electrolyte (causing slow
starting or other electrical problems), see your dealer.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
