Dynavolt battery failure

[Idy10]

My advice would be not to purchase a dynavolt battery , mine lasted a couple of weeks the importer or manufacture don't bother replying, pay the extra and purchase a better quality item , buying cheap in this case is definatly false economy.

There are possibly other factors to consider.
If the battery was in 1st class condition where the OP bought it, it could be the charging system on the bike that could be screwing up the battery

It was purchased , and dry stored for a couple of months, acid added trickle charged , couple of weeks latter failure , the charging system is perfect , off too the shop I go and it's closed down, as for the overseas manufacture , is it asking to much for a reply?

I had a Dynavolt battery on my ER5 and it was brilliant. (Probably still is, Paddy/Nemo..?)
Sounds like plain old bad luck.

How many threads precisely have you created on this subject?

Interesting addition that the shops closed down. Even more interesting that the battery was dry stored for months.

Conclusion - you either got it at sale price because the store was closing down or you're trying to make it look like the battery hasn't been on the bike for a few months.

Nobody buys a battery to keep on the shelf...unless perhaps they had a bike constantly blowing batteries up

Seems legit.

All I can do is relay my actual experience onto others so that they don't get suckered into buying a dynavolt battery just because they are cheap if something appears to good to be true it usually is

There is no problem with electrical system as proven by replacing the dynavolt battery with a one that works and I haven't had any more problems , I apprecate that nobody can manufacture 100% quality but the response from the manufacture was or is none existant , is it to much to ask for a reply?

Tried going to another dynavolt dealer, explaining the situation? (calmly, without acting like a wang and slagging them off all over the internet)They may be able to contact the supplier (provided you kept your reciept) and the supplier may be able to issue a replacement.

Or, you could continue to bawww

You do realise that someone from dynavolt might consider what you've written as libellous?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

It's the usual dynavolt salesman scrip. It's not us it's your Bike

[Idy10]

Thank you all for the input people can now form their own opinion as to which battery to purchase

[Idy10]

No , facts, my bike now works with only a change of battery, what can you read into that?

You've replaced the battery and it hasn't been three weeks! My god don't you know dynavolt battery replacements have a 3 week discharge time, wait until 3 weeks are up and come back on.

To test you battery you need a large screw driver, lightly press the metal shaft across the positive and negative terminals, caution though this has to be done in bike, with the fuel filler cap open and a naked flame dropped in to test fuel levels, if you get a small explosion the battery is fine, if nothing happens replace battery, use a bigger screw driver and rub bike over with a petrol soaked rag.














(In case of severe knob head syndrome, the above advice is crap and should be tried by anyone except stupid dicks who like to complain and moan, also for legal bods, do not listen to my advice)
