batteries

[Dennsell]

Last couple of weeks my bike has been acting weird .
If i ride it everyday no problem
but if i leave it for a day or two it may start it may not.
it tries to turn over but acts like it has low charge so i put the charger on and then she will start no problem.

Is my battery ****ed?

Safe bet mate ..

Do you have a multimeter to do a ground leakage check?
Corrosion somewhere can cause leakage..trickles ya battery to ground.

Well I havn't tried a Scorpion but I seem to remember the states guys recommended a particular model recently for their winter starting cond.

yeah just started doing it last week no prob if ridden daily but leave it a few days and it is sluggish to turn over might also be related that the GPS has been on the bike and is directly wired to battery so could be a slow drain but has done it before when I hadn't ridden the bike in a couple of weeks, work is a ***** it interfears with regular ridding

I rode mine to work yesterday no prob starting . then rode it home no problem starting then got home and turned her off while i opened the car port door "drive way is on extreme slope so she has to be in gear so i cant keep her running " then when i went to start her again she laboured to turn over and wouldnt start. when i connect battery to charger it always says full charge but wont turn her over until she has a 20 min recharge. I think it may be faulty so im just gonna replace it. If it keeps doing it i know to look elsewhere
