NOTE:

The condition of the battery can be known by checking the specific gravity of the elec- trolyte. However, you can also know the condition of the battery by measuring the voltage at both battery terminals. Charge the battery if the voltage is less than 12 volts.

Specific gravity (for reference): 1.28 at 20 °C (68 °F)

It is recommended to have a Yamaha dealer check the specific gravity and to charge the battery. If you maintain the battery yourself, be sure to read and follow the instructions provided with the battery tester and charger you use.
