Battery Problem

itarider · 25/02/2006, 15h22

Ok well when i stored my bike i didnt remove the battery to let it charge every couple of weeks. I go start my bike today and nothing. Now i'm sure it's my battery so can i just remove the battery and charge it for a couple of hours and it will be ok or do i need to buy a new battery?

Also where can i get a battery charger?

Thanks

If you try to charge it and it take charge,you will be ok but it is possible that it doesnt take any charge(if it this case change it)
you must use the slowest charge you can and longer time.Put it the lowest you can(2amp)in your case and let it charge for around 4,5 hrs.
good luck

The amps selection just change the charging time...if you charge at 12 amps, you 'll be able to start the engine faster but the batterie won't have juice for a long time. If you charge at 2 amps, it will be longer but you'll have juice for longer if the engine is hard to start...
