Motorcycle battery

A motorcycle battery in which recharging is performed by a chemical action so that it can be utilized repetitively as a power source is used as an energy source for a drive motor for a motorcycle or a power source for the starting of an internal combustion engine of a motorcycle or for a light or the like. Motorcycles are typically started by a kick starter or an electric starter. Motor vehicles such as motorcycles typically have a generator powered by the vehicle's engine to supply electricity for powering the lights, horn, etc. A storage battery such as a sealed lead acid battery is typically used to power a starting motor which starts the engine, in addition to powering the lights when running the engine is not desired. Starters for initiating internal combustion engines consist of an electrically powered motor which through gearing mechanisms rotates the crankshaft of an engine from rest up to a speed at which the engine will commence to operate on its own. The power for the starter is supplied by the motorcycle battery. The starter is designed to produce a high power output or torque over a short period of time without exceeding a specified temperature, so that the static inertia and friction inherent in the engine are quickly overcome. The battery is arranged in the central part of the cycle body. The main fuse is connected to the battery at one end and to the respective load circuits at the other end through wire harnesses. A motorcycle is provided with a plurality of switches on and in the vicinity of the handlebar so that operations such as actuating lights and/or horns may be easily done while driving. These switches are connected to respective electrical loads, such as headlights, taillights, flashing lights, turn signals, and ignition coil. In addition, a switch provided on the brake operating lever is connected to a stoplight. All such eletrical systems are powered by the motorcycle storage battery.
