My ER5 did that without a charger, left outside under a cover all winter and it had enough juice to have several attempts at starting.
Decent battery FTW,

I had the gpz outdoors without a cover over winter (actually has winter ended yet?), no charger etc.... Couple of seconds on the starter and it fired up. That's probably some cheap battery that's in there too
