| Re: charging the battery ..help 12V 2A It's a slow trickle charge. Leave it on that for 24-36 hours....should be good to go. Chances are though that your battery is shot and you'll have to replace it. |

| Re: charging the battery ..help Yep, it's probably shot. You should keep it on a trickle charger all winter. |

| Re: charging the battery ..help Agree with the above replies for settings. I don't have a Battery Tender to leave on my battery all winter, but I do bring it in the house and put it on a trickle charger overnight once a month. |

  | Re: charging the battery ..help This past winter, I put mine on the trickle charge for most of the winter. I unplugged it every few weeks but mainly left it charging the whole time. |

| Re: charging the battery ..help Buy a Battery Tender, its worth every penny and still cheaper than a battery. |

| Re: charging the battery ..help Before I hook the batt to the charger, the reading was 10.8V. After charging it, 12.6V...and the bike started fine  The battery was left on a piece of wood in the basement. I didn't think a 2V drop in charge would make such a big diff. |

| Re: charging the battery ..help Think that's bad? Try starting a 12 year old 2 valve Ducati with anything other than a perfect battery on a warm day!  Actually, age has nothing to do with it, it's just a cold blooded beast! |

| Re: charging the battery ..help The charge rates should also be on the battery if you can still read them. |
