[b]Subject:[/b] Re: [DSN_KLR650] Death of a Battery............ What kind of charger did you use? There are lots of different types of trickle chargers out there. Some trickle charges never shut off and even at a half amp can over charge a battery if left connected. The floating ground type of charge (like a Battery Tender and others) will shut off when a max charge is reached and then maintain the battery at this peak condition. I d like to hear what success or not anyone has had with the new Lithium Ion batteries. I believe when they become cheaper (and they will) that these will be the next new thing in batteries for most vehicles. Fred

dsn_klr650@yahoogroups.com [b]Subject:[/b] [DSN_KLR650] Death of a Battery............ I tend to leave my KLR connected to a trickle charger. A few days ago my battery was dead. FYI, I had disconnected the charger for a few days prior to it dying. I pulled the battery today and it was bone dry. I have to admit that I had not checked the battery juice level in quite a while. I use a slosh battery from Wal Mart. So, my question; "In your best guess, did the charger cook the battery over time, or is more likely that it dried over time due (muttering - due to my negligence)." In my defense, the battery was about two + years old. So it was about time anyway. Signed Anonymous I decline to sign my name as some of you will attack me for my negligence. Sent from Windows Mail
