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. |

I run one in my jetski, never had a problem. More likely the DR is the problem.

Check out the C-Tek chargers that come with a rejuvenate cycle plus normal charge and monitor and trickle.
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.

Any good automotive supplier should have them. Or try a caravan accessory supplier, 4wd outlet or ebay. |

Any battery left to sit (especially over winter) will usually DIE.. it is best to keep all batteries on a trickle charge if not going to be used regularly.
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.

Had the same problem just gone a lithium battery will let you know how in works out man these batteries are light
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 !

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Beer in one hand - throttle in the other - body thoroughly used up,totally worn out and screeming what a ride
