It depends on the Battery type, some arrive fully charged, some do not.

As a general rule of thumb batteries that are described as GEL or AGM arrive fully charged. Certain types that need a charger have now been banned from the postal system.. so cannot be ordered online anymore.

read the description carefully... if a battery needs to be charged before its fitted, the description by the seller should tell you this.

I dont know if they make one for your bike.. but if you can buy a "Motobatt" branded battery.. then get it. these are really good and can be fitted straight away.

if worse comes to the worse.. a motorbike battery charger isn't expensive and always useful to have.

Thanks for the reply, im in switzerland so a bit of a language barrier, basically EVERY video ive seen online, they charge the battery and stress that the first charge is paramount on the life expectancy and that batteries arrive 80% blah blah..

The battery I will be probably getting is YTX7A-BS AGM maintenance free.

Once again thanks for the reply, my concern was to receive a battery that needs charging, with no means to charge it

I will see if I can find motobatt

Hi

Ive never been on a motorcycle before, so absolute noob. Last week bought a 125 scooter, low mileage, good condition etc...

However once I got the scooter home, the battery was dead. Got a refund. And now shopping for new battery.

I found the model number and dimension of battery needed.

My question is:

does a new battery arrive charged? Half charged?do I need to charge it? Do I need a battery float?

So frustrating having bike in shed, but cant even start it!!

Kind regards
