NOTICE
ECA17451
Improper charging can damage the
battery and built-in battery charger.
Do not charge in a place ex- posed to direct sunlight or near
a heater.
Do not charge when there is risk
of thunderstorms or lightning.
Electrical surges could cause
damage.
Do not use the AC outlet of a car
or generator for charging the
battery as this could cause amalfunction.
Park the vehicle on a flat, stable sur-
face near a grounded electrical outlet
with residual-current device (RCD) pro-
tection. The area must be dry and, if
necessary, sheltered to prevent rain
water or other moisture from wetting
the vehicle, charging cord, or outlet.
The environment affects the duration of
battery charging. For optimum charg-
ing, charge the battery out of direct sun-
light in an ambient temperature of 15 C
– 25 C.
TIPAlthough charging between 15 C – 25
C provides the best results, the battery
can be charged within an ambient tem-
perature range of –5 C – 50 C. A de-
pleted battery cannot be charged if
ambient temperature is below 0 C.
Examples of recommended charg-
ing locations
A cool, shaded and well-ventilated
place.
A place that does not fall below –5 C
overnight.

WARNING
EWA15692
Do not handle the charging plug
with wet hands. You could be
electrocuted.
Do not charge the battery if any
damage, corrosion, rust or
looseness is found with the

grounded electrical outlet. This
could cause a fire, electric
shock or short circuit.
If any unusual odor or smoke
emerges from the vehicle dur-
ing charging, stop charging the
battery immediately and consult
your Yamaha dealer.
Electromagnetic waves emitted
from the battery charger could
interfere with the function of
heart devices or other electrical
medical equipment and cause
injury. If you use an im-
plant-type cardiac pacemaker or
defibrillator, or other electrical
medical device, be sure to con-
sult with your doctor or the manufacturer to check whether
being near the battery charger
could affect the device.WARNING
EWA15881
Do not use the charging cord or
charging plug if damaged (i.e., bro-
ken or exposed leads) because it
could cause electric shock or fire. If
such damage is found on the charg-
ing cord, stop using it immediately
and have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle. Handle the charging cord
carefully by observing the following:
Do not twist the charging cord,
wrap it into a tight loop, or sub-
