Author Message   Earwig Posted on Monday, October 15, 2012 - 12:21 am:        I attempted to start my bike and it began to turn over but it has been sitting for a few weeks off of the battery tender so it wouldn't start and needed to be charged. I plugged in my battery tender and attempted to start it again a few days later and it's completely dead. No light on the tender and absolutely no power to anything on the bike. I turn the key and nothing happens at all. Has anyone experienced this or does anyone have any ideas as to what's up with my bike? Thank you.   Diablobrian Posted on Monday, October 15, 2012 - 03:51 am:        If battery was too low it could case the tender to over-theamp and trip off on a protection circuit to prevent the tender from catching fire.   Natexlh1000 Posted on Monday, October 15, 2012 - 07:47 am:        I've had two of these AGM batteries die in bizarre ways. One shut me down on the highway as if the key was turned off. One got me to work but was dead as a block of wood in the evening when I tried to go home. Both times, the battery measured as fully charged at 12.5V with no load but as soon as any load was applied= DEAD. Sometimes something just pops in there I think.   Earwig Posted on Monday, October 15, 2012 - 10:48 am:        Thanks for the responses. I guess I need a new battery.
