drained battery
I left the key on and fully drained my lo-tech vented battery. Topped it
off w distilled and charged it up. Took a while for the "smart" charger to
figure out it was really charging but it eventually did and the battery has
seemed normal since. Guess I got lucky. Maybe I'm in line for a nasty
surprise miles from home.
I always reiterate my warning about the inexpensive yellow AGM batteries
with the four poles making them fit more bikes. I had two of those fail in
my KLR. Either they couldn't take the jostling on fire roads etc or
couldn't take the output of the KLR reg/rec, which is strong enough to boil
a vented battery dry on longer high speed runs.
Went with a Walmart Everstart AGM for my scooter this time. Came with an
acid pack to add then you permanently seal the battery. Saw the 14LA2 size
in AGM for the KLR when I was there, Not cheap at like $75 but the scoot
battery seems like a good quality item.
