[QUOTE="BwanaDik, post: 946750, member: 13660"] Update: It's dead. Had it on the charger for about 8 hours and it nevr got above 13.2 on the charger, 12.4 off the charger. It would run the fuel pump but not turn the starter. Sigh....New battery on the install list for this morning I know we've got a lot of battery threads around here but I've not seen a clear explaination of why this happens (I looked but may have missed it). For example, say you have a bike with carbs (remember those?) so you don't need power for fuel. Your bike won't start and you run the battery down to zero trying to turn it over. Flat. ead. Nada. Zip power left. We've all done this sometime in the dim past. You put it on the charger and a few hours later it's OK. Then you have a situation like mine where the battery is drained slowly over many hours. Now the battery won't recover. What's the difference? [/QUOTE]
