How does the battery charge?

How does the battery charge? I just purchased an 83 suzuki fa50. It did not come with a battery and am looking to purchase one on the internet. Most of the batteries I find online speak of pouring dangerous battery acid into the battery on a regular basis. I did find one that doesn't require this. But what I really want to know is: how does the battery charge? Do these scooters have alternators?

"The FA50 uses a 6 volt battery for it's lights.

The battery technology is Wet-Cell; the routine maintenance will be required.

There should be a charger that you plug into the wall."

They have magnetos that is how I believe mine charges it

"Hi @Gary Boyd ,

If you can't get the manual for the correct year check what voltage value is stamped on the brake light or headlight bulbs.

This will tell you what the battery voltage is.

It should also be written on the battery. If it is no longer there, for a 1983 model it is a 6V 2AH battery

This link confirms that your year model also has a 6V 2AH battery."
