When I first bought my bike 4 months ago, I had to buy a new battery before I could test ride it.
The previous owner had a gel battery in it that was only a few months old and had gone dead and wouldnt take a charge.
He had returned it and was waiting for an answer from the manufacturer as to weather or not it was defective so he could get a credit.
Now the one I had bought (Walmart cheapo) hasfailed the same way.
I can jump start it. It will charge in the bike to a point, but will drop to about 7volts in about an hour.
When I disconnect it from the terminals, there are no sparks.
Ithas workedfine for four months.
It only sat for a week before this occured.
Any ideas??
