battery

As I am preparing for the arrival of my 2024 3R in April one of the potential problems I have read about in this forum is strange behavior after disconnecting the battery. This is one of the first things I plan on doing to install a Thunder Box and pigtail for my 1.25A Battery Tender that I'm...

My old battery went to **** and I'm looking for an upgrade. I'm wanting to swap to a LiFePo4 battery (I live in an always warm/hot desert). Any recommendations? What are the minimum cold cranking amps required for this bike? I've found a few that will fit but they seem to be kind of in the low...

As some of you know i did a 1.4kw starter swap I also just changed out my battery to a new one as the old one was on its last legs and left me having to do a few push starts... NOW i have a unusual problem i have no idea whats going on but i assume its some relay or ECU issue? When i Go to start...

Hi again, fellow Rocketeers! I’m planning to swap out my current battery (pic below) for a new one. I’m in Toronto, Canada and was considering going AGM or Gel this time over FLA but a friend of mine is pushing me to get Lithium. From what I’ve researched, lithium doesn’t like cold. However, if...

Hi All I want to add the positive and negative wires from my satnav to the battery. It has optimizer cables on there already and when I try to put the satnav cables in place the terminal bolts are just not quite long enough. I'm going to get some slightly longer bolts. Does anyone know the exact...

Hi everyone, apparently its already cold enough here in Maryland for my battery not to be strong enough to start my 2016 Roadster, even after being on a charger all night. The battery does fine during the warmer months. I dont mind charging the battery the night before I will ride it, but of...

Hello All, Hope it helps someone - Stock blinkers are 2watts 12V LED Array in each blinker/turn signal so they are consuming 167Milliamps per blinker. - When bike is completely OFF and Key Fob is ON and in range then motorcycle drains battery at 80Milliamps. - When bike is completely OFF and...

Time for a battery for my 08 R3T. ive had good luck with Deka batterys in other bikes and wonder if anyone can tell me if the Deka EXT20L will fit in the battery box of my R3T. They list the thickness at 3.56 inches which is about an eigth more than the yuasa thats in it now. the box is only...

I thought I had a flat battery so I linked it up to another to start it. Started fine but as soon as I disconnected the cords from the other battery, it just stopped working. It won't charge. Original battery 2 years old. Am I missing something else it could be?

Just want to be sure I don't plug into the wrong terminals..

So I keep the bike on a trickle charger - or did. I have a bluetooth speaker set installed but disconnect it from the trickle charger connector when the bike sits overnight (so no draw there...). Yesterday I came out and 2 slow cranks then nothing. All lights came on and gauges reset. I...

So God bless Motobatt, DeCosse, and Power Commander. I left the Rocket outside the other night, it wasn't supposed to rain until real late morning. My wife came in and woke me up, your headlights are on. I got dressed, went out, I'm standing in the garage, it's pouring like it only can in...

That's a YouTube link to my video of it trying to start. Previous post of mine was in 2014 soon after I had acquired the bike. Starting issue continues, even after a recent battery replacement completed by the shop. Have done several things over the years trying to get this thing running...

Hey guys, My new R3R will be arriving this week and of course given the crappy weather in NJ, it will be sitting in the garage for a while. Do the new R3 have a standard lead acid or a Lithium battery. Want to order a battery tender and wondering whether just to get the Battery Tender Jr...

So my original battery was giving me issues so I took it in and had it tested. Gent said it tested fine, but needed a charge. I said nope been on the battery tender the whole time. I want a new battery. I decided on the Duracell Ultra Model DURAGM-20L it seemed to have an advantage on...

Was looking for some small gadgets/things to put on the Christmas list for the kids and saw this: https://www.busters-accessories.co.uk/en/category/20400000000/vehicle/harley-davidson-fxlr-1340:17234/article/790241/ There are a few brands that I saw but this one from the UK keeps coming up...

Looking for a replacement battery for my 2007 R3, are there any "inexpensive" options? I imagine is you get what you pay for, but, I've not been in the parts market for a few years on my R3. I think I have been putting in the YAUSA batteries, but, want to look at all alternative$, under $85. Do...

Anyone ever use the Yuasa GYZ20HL battery? It is only a couple of bucks more than the YTX20HL-BS and has 320 CCA vz 310 CCA with higher amp hour rating 20A vs 18A? Seems to have a little more power.

Was looking for something different on EBay and just happened across this product by company called Blue Sea OK - hands up - how many of you have a bunch of accessory ring terminals stacked up on both sides of battery...
