Re: [ST] Batt charge



Well, I know you can get new batteries that are bad, but I really expected
more than 9 months out of the battery before it went bad.  It was a brand
new AC Delco battery for the Camaro and had only been sitting about 5 weeks.
Even had it started and drove around once in those 5 weeks.  The last
battery was about 6 years old which included 2 winters of sitting (one
winter outside in Iowa) without driving at all.

Oh well, guess I will just have to pull it and take it back for a new one.

On a lighter note, did move the Tender over to the ST and it was on there
for about 1 1/2 hours and the light is green.  can't wait to get the CF
Triumph can on there, new tune and idle CO setting done and start riding
again.
