The bike charges great -- see that "voltmeter" thread. The new battery seems fine. Either a bad battery or (more likely) I killed it with a bad charger.
I'm so sure, I bought the same battery again. (Thus proving you're WRONG -- I really am an idiot.)
Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Now now dont be so hard on yourself. Just because you do the same thing over and over and expect a different result......Nails wrote:The bike charges great -- see that "voltmeter" thread. The new battery seems fine. Either a bad battery or (more likely) I killed it with a bad charger.

Re: Deka ETX-18L battery
Well, this time I'll avoid killing the battery with excessive compression testing, a stuck starter solenoid, and then an abused/abusive charger.
I said I'd buy one again, but I was thinking years not months. These batteries aren't exactly resilient.
I'd have to recommend patience with your charger. My old battery won't charge more than 75% (according to the new charger); and it won't hold that for more than a week. I think this is from charging too hot.
