Re: [ST] Flat as roadkill



When they go they just go.  No amount of charging will help.  Having said
that...10 miles for a totally flat battery does not seem nearly enough.  I
have had car batteries go totally flat, even trips of 30/40 miles didn't
charge it enough but an overnight on a good charger did the trick.

I've had car batteries go like that.  It's as if one of the plates has
dropped off and made it open-circuit.  Is it over three years old?

Sorry to mention age<G>?

could be but i never usually make that error simply as i never use that
function or the steering lock. When i put the bike away its usually dark
so i should notice that.

However, how long a run should give me a reasonable charge? i just did 10
miles, would i expect a charge in the battery after that?
