Battery help? (maybe)

BobTheBiker · 07-30-2008, 08:10 PM

it sounds like you need a new battery, and to check for shorts in your wiring.

ya, well here's the answer:

First, had a blown fuse in my tender cable. And apparently a bad connection somewher in the headlight/heated grip circuit. Snugged all up and taped over each connection to make sure they don't vibrate loose. Seemed to solve the headlight problem.

Also the standing state of the battery was 12.78 volts which is good. But probably needs to be replaced anyway.

should be at about 13, 13.5 ish, when its fully charged.

14.4 is the number to shoot for when its running i believe
