From the 2022 manual.


Battery Sensor Reset
When you install a new battery, reset the battery sensor by doing the following:
1. Switch the ignition on, and leave the engine off.
Note: Complete Steps 2 and 3 within 10 seconds.
2. Flash the high beam headlamps five times, ending with the high beams off.
3. Press and release the brake pedal three times.
The battery warning lamp flashes three times to confirm that the reset is successful.

Battery Management System (If Equipped)
The system monitors battery conditions and takes actions to extend battery life. If excessive battery drain is detected, the system temporarily disables some electrical systems to protect the battery.
Systems included are:
• Heated rear window.
• Heated seats.
• Climate control.
• Heated steering wheel.
• Audio unit.
• Navigation system.
A message may appear in the information display to alert you that battery protection actions are active. This message is only for notification that an action is taking place, and not intended to indicate an electrical problem or that the battery requires replacement.

After battery replacement, or in some cases after charging the battery with an external charger, the battery management system requires eight hours of vehicle sleep time to relearn the battery state of charge. During this time, your vehicle must remain fully locked with the ignition switched off.
Note: Prior to relearning the battery state of charge, the battery management system may temporarily disable some electrical systems.

Electrical Accessory Installation
To make sure the battery management system works correctly, do not connect an electrical device ground connection directly to the battery negative post. This can cause inaccurate measurements of the battery condition and potential incorrect system operation.
Note: If you add electrical accessories or components to the vehicle, it may adversely affect battery performance and durability. This may also affect the performance of other electrical systems in the vehicle.

Hi All,

I noticed that my auto stop start was not working the other day. I know all the reason when it will not work and usually my biggest reason for me is making short runs. To have the system work I usually hook up my MotoMaster Eliminator Precision Series Smart Battery Charger/Maintainer that this bring up the level to 100%. Once full I can drive my short trips and the auto stop will work as per usual, until I run into tis issue again. Well I repeated the charging and noticed that the LED would only go up to the 50%, this is after 12 hours. Any ideas on why I can't charge to 100%.
I have had the battery replace last year with only 5000KM, now at 19000KM.
I have the same charger and have the same problem as well.
