Always keep the battery charged. Storing a
discharged battery can cause permanent
battery damage.

To charge a VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Ac-
id) battery, a special constant-voltage bat-
tery charger is required. Using a
conventional battery charger will damage
the battery. If you do not have access to a
constant-voltage battery charger, have a
Yamaha dealer charge your battery.
