• Remove the battery (see Battery Removal).
• Do refresh charge by following method according to the battery terminal voltage.

Terminal Voltage: 12.0 12.7
V Standard Charge (see following chart):

ZX1000J: 0.6 A × 5 10 h

ZX1000K: 0.9 A × 5 10 h

Quick Charge

ZX1000K: 4.5 A × 1 h

NOTICE

If possible, do not quick charge. If quick charge is done unavoidably, do standard charge later on.

Kawasaki-recommended chargers: Battery Mate 150-9

OptiMate PRO 4-S/PRO S/PRO 2

Yuasa MB-2040/2060

• If the recommend chargers are not available, use equivalent one

NOTE

Increase the charging voltage to a maximum voltage of 25 V if the battery will not accept current initially. Charge for nomore than 5minutes at the increased voltage then check if the battery is drawing current. If the battery will accept current decrease the voltage and charge by the standard charging method described on the battery case. If the battery will not accept current after 5 minutes, replace the battery.
