That depends on what is the state of charge. Have you fitted any aftermarket accessories such as lights, horns? I suspect the battery from the symptoms you have describedģ. If all checks out ok it may be the battery. If it runs flat in 2 weeks it could be due to a leakage - check your bikes wiring. This will lead to excessive water loss.Ģ. Also, 15V is too high a charging voltage. As mentioned the voltage when fully charged is 12.6V. But that's not the only thing to measure - you need to load test the battery something your dealer should be able to do.ġ. A fully charged battery should be 12.5-12.6V depending on make & model. Please merge this in case a similar thread already exists.Ī battery that reads 10.79V assuming the VM is correct is flat.yes, absolutely flat.Ī battery is at 0% state of charge at ~11.4V 27 C, if it shows a reading below that it's probably sulphated and that's the reason it wont retain a charge and start your bike. Note: Mods, I tried searching for a similar thread but could not find one. ***All cells in my battery are fine & the distilled water level is also good. Please give me some tips to maintain my battery, I have already changed 2 batteries till date How much time would my battery take to fully charge if I ride her everyday?Ĥ. Battery discharging to a great extent when I don't ride her for say 2 weeks, is this normal? Is my battery good?ģ. How much voltage does the starter need to crank the engine? (all other electricals working perfect, 12V standard Exide battery)Ģ. My ES does not work with 10.8 volts, I hear a whining sound. Now, the servicing fellow said he had charged the battery for some 4 hours and the battery showed around 15 volts when i revved, so the battery is charging and its in pretty good shape.ġ. Voltage with engine revving at 2.5k : Around 15 Volts Voltage with engine turned off : 10.79 Volts Also, I dint ride much in the last 5-6 months because the only time I get with my 11 months daughter is on the weekends.įinally, I took my bike to a local battery guy and he tested the battery. I ride my Tbird mostly on weekends as I prefer taking my Ritzy to work, so I ride less overall and this is the reason for the quick discharging. But I dint agree nor did fellow bhpian Thumpingheart for a obvious reason that the battery was just a year old. Battery was weak and the mechanic said I might need to change it. Took my Thunderbird TBTS out & straight to servicing yesterday after some 3 months.
