A weak battery can prove to be a major hurdle when it comes to a bike’s optimal performance. That is why it is necessary to ensure that the bike’s battery is in proper condition. The bike’s battery usually gets checked at the time of servicing or if there is any problem while starting the bike. However, that is not the only time one should think about the bike’s battery.
You need to take some measures regularly to prolong the bike’s battery. Basic battery-related maintenance activities can go a long way in improving the battery life. Read ahead to know more.

Following these basic tips from time-to-time will help you to keep the battery’s power intact. You do not need to be a skilled mechanic to perform some of these tasks. However, if you feel that it is beyond your skill set to carry out any of the following activities, refrain from doing so. Get professional help wherever required.
Keep checking the wiring associated with the bike’s battery. Faulty wiring can cause a lot of trouble; not just concerning the bike’s battery but in other cases as well. Heavy rains, windy riding conditions, rodent attacks, etc. can cause battery-related wiring problems. Noticing such problems early on will help prevent major issues.
Riders might have faced his problem a lot – the bike’s battery dies if the two-wheeler is not used for a long time. For example, some riders might not use their bike during the four months of the rainy season. Disconnecting the battery in such a situation can prove helpful to enhance its life. The disconnected battery should be stored in a place that is dry and not cold.
Nowadays, riders tend to enhance the aesthetic element of their bike by adding some extra lights. Such LED lights are powered by the bike’s battery. Do not overburden the bike with unnecessary frills that drain the battery. Speak with a professional to gauge how much extra load the battery can take with respect to LED lights and other similar bike modifications.
Many times, charging a dead battery can activate it. There is no need to directly replace the bike’s battery. First, see if it can be charged and if still doesn’t respond then choose a new branded battery. Usually, reputed companies offer batteries with a year’s warranty.
Do not procrastinate when it comes to resolving bike’s battery-related issues. If you feel there is something wrong with the bike’s battery while starting or riding the two-wheeler, get the battery checked from a trusted mechanic at the earliest.
