Posted: 00:28 - 11 Nov 2022 Post subject: New Battery or a battery charger |
|
|
I haven't used the bike for a month and to my surprise, it started the first time when I took it to work the other day, ..........18 miles round trip to and from work and it didnt miss a beat.
Parked up on the drive, switched the engine off, opened the garden gate and tried to start the bike again to ride it in but now it refused to start......(I have checked the engine stop/kill )
The only thing that I can think of is, I used the heated grips on my way back from work so that must have drained the battery which probably didn't have enough juice left in it.
question is, a new battery or a new charger? if a new charger, which one would you recommend? |

Battery may or may not be in good order. You can't find out without charging it and seeing if it holds a charge/testing the electrolyte/load testing it.
So charger. And multimeter.
Ideally get one with a "rescue" function for badly discharged batteries and a maintainance function so next time you park the bike up for a month or more, you can hook it up to the charger and keep it in good condition.
Any old multimeter is fine for most things you'd wat it for on a motorbike.
You may need a battery anyway but you also need a charger. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
