Hi everyone,
Last week we had a nice couple of days, thought I'd start up the bike and go around the block a few times.
Well, ran down the battery trying to get 'er running, but no go.
Anyway, pulled the battery out and put it on my 2A charger, I meant to leave it on overnight.
Of course, this morning I'm driving home from work and remember about the battery.
Oh crud!
So I get home, disconnect the cables and examine the battery.
Hmmm, seems a bit light.
Tipped it back and forth listening for sloshing, nothing.
Peeked in the filler holes, nothing.
Turned the battery completely upside down with the filler plugs removed.
Nothing.
My battery is completely dry! :shock:
So, is this an automatic "go buy a new one" or is there any chance of rescusitation by adding distilled water or more acid?
Once again I'm seeing why a battery-tender is a great little device, wish I had one.
So, what's the verdict?
Thanks, -Kris
