Charging?

Battery has gone from OK to flat today, its been icing up all day here.

The CBR125 is now running...but the battery went, charging up now on the bike as I dont have a charger (jumped from car battery)

How long will it take to charge enough to not give my mate any hassle.

It seemed very hard to start even jumping from a 60ah battery from my Supra... could it be carb icing/problem with fuelling?

Its idling fine, ive increased the revs to stop it dying when its cold so its sitting at 2.5k.

So, how long do you reckon?

I'v just covered this. You will need to get a battery if its just gone dead without leaving the lights on!

you will need a good 25mile run to put a good charge into a healthy battery!

Chances are you will need to replaced it if it just went dead on its own!
