dead klr battery today

[Jim Hyman]

Bill, Check out http://www.yuasabatteries.com/consumer.htm for info on "breaking in" new batteries & other tips. Most riders don't know that there are specific setup procedures to maximize battery performance & life. I fill new batteries 1/8" above the top fluid line & let the new battery stabilize for 1/2 to 1 hour before giving the new battery it's initial setup charge. FWIW, my 1-amp trickle charger only charges at 0.4 amps (& 13.75 volts) so I charge my new batteries for 8 - 12 hours before installing it. It is NOT OK to let your bike's charging system do this for you. Be sure to wear your religious (hole-y) clothing & safety glasses when filling your battery. Professor A9 Federal Way, Wa.
