If a battery gets to low on charge the new type digital chargers will not charge them, hook it up to a know good battery and charge both together , may take a good few hrs to get it going. I luv em and have had 1 trouble when 1 bike was over charging so you would expect that.is there an alternitave to these yellow boxes of tish?

The one I purchased has a cycle for car and bike batteries. I have bought 2 out of 3 batteries back to life with this little marvel.I was going to throw out them out after being left flat.

Or try a caravan accessory supplier, 4wd outlet or ebay. Title: Re: Motobat batteries Post by: Ian Robinson on August 20, 2013, 11,56:44 AM Have a look at these

On saying that, after a big day of stop start, i have to put the little yellow ones on charge, on a really bad day have flattened it by lunch. i am getting charged system looked at.

I don't care about the weight but they are claiming A normal lead acid motorcycle battery is designed to last for 200 – 300 cycles, whereas SSB PowerSport Lithium Batteries are designed to last for over 2,000 cycles (more than 10 Years design life). In addition, they can sit unused for over a year without losing charge and can also be charged extremely quickly without damaging the battery. We will see ! |
