Hi All,
Well I left my track bike ignition on all the way back from PI, basically 24 hours.
There is enough juice left to power the dash light but nothing else, just a click if I try to start it.
Is it worth charging the battery or is it just cactus? Its always been strong up till now btw.
Cheers
Matt

Re: dead battery advice
Should be okay to charge up again.
Damage usually only occurs if left discharged for an extended period of time.

Re: dead battery advice
Excuse for the hijack, but dave, can you recommend me a charger that'll do both the bike and the commodore. ATM i've only got one that'll do a 2.5A and I think my battery is 9AH? So I should be getting one that can do 0.9A yeah?

Re: dead battery advice
Last time I got a click when I hit the start button it was a dropped valve. Good luck
It'll be right mate, just stick it on a charger.

It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.
