Re: Battery/ Charging issue + made worse by me

Thanks guys for the info, but I want the lifetime warranty one from Cycle Gear that plato1 mentioned. I have put two batteries in it over the last 7 years. This will be the third. A lifetime warranty will be nice. :2tup:

That's about right for flooded lead acid batteries.

Re: Battery/ Charging issue + made worse by me

Thanks again for all the help here,


I think I've solved the problem!

After running through all of the components of the charging system one by one and feeling confounded when they all seemed good, I noticed that the bolts holding the battery leads to the terminals were bottoming out and not enforcing a tight connection. I installed a couple of flat washers on each side, snugged the leads up, and the battery has been charging fully ever since.
