I would take the battery to a dealer and have them check it to see if it is dead. If it is they might be willing to charge it for you. If after riding around for a while, and your battery dies again, it's either a bad battery or your alternator is not working.
Thanks,but...I do think its a good idea for anyone to have a charger. What if you forgot to turn off the key,etc....and let your battery drain?
You would need to charge it or sit home one
Also I dont know about charging batterys(and the type I have) for MC's....can you charge them quickly or need to charge them slowly...
My battery says charge at 1.2amps at 5-10 hrs.....dont think I could leave it with a dealer for that long
If that's my only option on charging.
BTW,I did a search on my particular battery and it is for the/fits the Suz Savage & the right year also....that was good news!
I heard there are some battery experts here. Maybe they will give us some more info
Or don't have to be a expert!
Since the post was started ,has some good info already and I had such a hard time finding info on battery's...I hope all good info gets put here and its not dropped before someone answers these last questions.
Would sure make it easy for someone else to find the answers.In one place
