Congratulations on your new Surron! Today, I’ll walk you through the simple process of removing and reinstalling the stock battery on your motorcycle. You’ll start by easily accessing the battery compartment using your ignition keys, which are identical and will fit the latch opening. With a gentle twist and press, the cover will release, revealing the battery inside.
Once the battery cover is open, safety is paramount. Make sure to disconnect the power by turning off the breaker with a clear click to indicate that it’s safe to proceed. I’ll guide you through disconnecting the connectors and safely lifting out the battery using its handle. If you’re planning to charge the battery or leave the bike for a while, this is the perfect time. Upon returning, you’ll reinstall the battery by reversing the removal steps, ensuring the correct alignment of the connectors, and powering up the system by engaging the breaker before closing everything up and restarting the bike.
Key Takeaways
- Unlock and open the battery compartment with ignition keys, then disconnect the breaker.
- Carefully remove and replace the battery following proper connector alignment.
- Reactivate the breaker, close the compartment, and start the bike to finalize.
Reaching the Battery Enclosure
Identifying the Release Mechanism
Begin by selecting either one of your ignition keys; both are identical and suitable for this task. Locate the release button for the latch which is designed to open the battery compartment. Insert your key into the slot and gently shift it to the left.
Unsealing the Compartment
If the cover does not open easily because it feels tight, press down gently on the battery enclosure. It should then release with a little pressure, allowing you to lift up the cover. With the cover now open, proceed by turning off the power supply. Locate the red breaker lever and push it leftwards until you hear a distinctive click, signaling that the power is now safely disconnected.
- Release Mechanism:
- Insert ignition key into latch.
- Rotate key to the left to release latch.
- Battery Cover:
- Press down on cover if difficult to open.
- Lift cover upon release.
- Power Disconnection:
- Find red breaker lever.
- Push lever left until it clicks off.
Safety Measures
Power Disconnection Process
To ensure a safe battery removal from your surron, initiate the process by deactivating the electrical circuit. Locate the red lever situated within the battery compartment, which functions as a circuit breaker. Slide it leftward until you perceive an audible click indicating the system is no longer powered. With the circuit deactivated, it’s now secure to proceed with the battery extraction.
- Initial Step: Find the red circuit breaker lever.
- Action: Glide the lever to the left.
- Confirmation: Listen for the clicking sound confirming power disconnection.
Once the electricity is cut off, you may begin disconnecting the battery connectors and removing the battery safely. It is crucial to handle electronic components without power flowing through them to prevent any chance of electrical shock or damage to the vehicle’s electronic systems.
Battery Extraction Process
Initiating the Disconnection
Begin by utilizing the ignition key to activate the release mechanism for the battery enclosure. Insert the key and rotate it to the left. If resistance is felt, press gently on the battery compartment to disengage.
Detaching the Primary Connector
Switch off the circuit breaker, identified by a red lever, by pushing it leftward until a click is heard, signaling an inactive state. Then, insert a prong into the initial connector and lift after hearing a click, which disconnects the connector.
Elevating the Battery from its Compartment
After removing the second connector without the need for a click, reposition the cables aside. Using the provided handle, extract the battery upward, employing a slight side-to-side motion if necessary for release.
Reinstallation Reminder:
- Align the connectors with the corresponding positive and negative terminals, ensuring a snug fit with smaller and larger sides matching.
- Reattach the primary connector until you hear a click, confirming the secure attachment.
- Engage the circuit breaker by pressing it firmly until it clicks into the ‘on’ position.
- Close the lid, remove the key, and proceed to start the vehicle.
Reinstalling The Battery
Inserting The Battery Into Position
Once you’re ready to reinstall the battery into your Surron, ensure you start by aligning it at the back of the compartment. Carefully place it down, managing the cables to prevent any obstructions, and wiggle it gently until it sits snugly in its designated space.
Attaching Power Connectors
It’s time to connect the terminals. The larger terminal is the male, while the smaller one is the female. Attach them making sure not to force or twist, as a proper fit should be obvious and seamless.
Fastening The Additional Connector
With the terminals connected, proceed to secure the other connector. Apply a slight pressure until you hear a confirming click, indicating the connector is well-placed.
Powering Up The Circuit
To reactivate the electrical circuit, push the red breaker lever to its original position. Apply ample force until you hear a definitive click, ensuring it’s effectively engaged.
Once these steps are complete, close the battery lid, remove the key, and you’re ready to start your bike.
Completing the Setup
Sealing the Compartment
Once the battery is securely placed, gently close the compartment cover. Remember that you need to depress the cover, using a little pressure if necessary, to engage the latch.
Initiation Procedure
Now, with everything connected, it’s time to power up the system. Push the red breaker lever to the right until you hear a distinct click indicating it’s activated. Then, close the compartment lid, remove the key, and insert it into the ignition. Your bike is now ready to be started!
