No, this is not a thread about which battery to buy. I already bought a new one. Anyway, The guy at Batteries Plus checked the new battery before I left the store and said it was a little low and to put it on a battery tender. I got the battery installed today and put it on the tender. it's been on there for about 6 hours. I just disconnected the tender and turned the key and it does nothing. With the tender connected the lights come on and I could probably start it (haven't actually tried). So my question is, how long will it take for this battery to be charged, or do you believe there is something else wrong with it. I had 11.?? volts before I hooked it, not sure what it is at now, I will check it later wife wants to go for groceries..... The old battery had about 12.6V after I pulled it out of the bike but it was fluctuating, the lowest I say it go was about 6V. It started giving me issues the end of last year, most of the time it would start up without a problem, but occasionally it would take awhile or drain the battery before starting. I haven't had an issue with it this year until Saturday. At one of the stops it actually took longer than normal to start and had me concerned. Hence, the reason I got a new one. Thanks in advance.
