[QUOTE="Steve01, post: 1267548, member: 15856"] Put a new battery on the bike just over a year ago (Lucas) no problems what so ever with it. In order to get the same sort of life out of it like the original one (7 years) I put it regularly every couple of weeks on trickle charge for a few hours to boost it back to 100%. Anyway to cut a long story short last week I did the same routine, waited for the charger turn to green then switched it off and un-plugged it from the mains. This time I left the charger connected to the battery via its fly leads. which I never normally do. I went back to the bike this morning hoping to take it for a ride and the bike was completely dead. Checked the voltage with my meter and it read 4.6 Volts. I have been trying to resurrect the battery all day with no luck (max 10v in the battery) so new battery had to be purchased. As this ever happened to anyone else ? [/QUOTE]
