[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1465668, member: 19880"] A bunch of old guys with compromised hearing. My tinnitus is relatively mild and hearing aids do help in some situations. High frequency hearing loss sometimes makes conversations difficult to follow - especially in social situations with more than one talker or any time there is significant background noise or music. Too many years of loud music, motorsports, small calibre target shooting, a summer working in a foundry (all without hearing protection) and genetics... I never ride without earplugs and try to remember them when mowing the lawn or running a snowblower. Anyway, looks like you are back on track. I would still try jumping it rather than waiting another several days for a battery. (Very little doubt that the original battery is beyond redemption.) Make sure that the new battery is FULLY charged (using a low amp regulated charger or maintainer) before attempting the first start and be prepared that it might not start instantly. Note: Many batteries come dry with a separate acid pack you add yourself according to the manufacturer's instructions. While the battery is partially charged once it is "activated", the charge should be fully topped up before initial use. AGM battery should ideally be charged at a rate no higher than C/10 or one tenth the ampere-hour capacity of the battery (1.2 amps for a 12 Ah battery). Anything less than 2 amps is probably not catastrophic. [/QUOTE]
