In the interest of full disclosure, faaaaarking hell!!! After my (almost) gloating above about the Shorai battery and charger I had an ‘incident’ today. I live on the Sunshine Coast of Australia - for weeks now we’ve had enough rain to seriously consider building an ark (a Norton ark of course!).So, very little riding has occurred. My expensive rolling artwork has been sat on it’s expensive stands, with its expensive battery on ‘store’ via its expensive charger. Thought I’d start her today - it’s how I ‘call up‘ the old boy (George) 2 doors down for a beer! Took her off ‘store‘ to press the charge button and got the northern lights flickering away - meaning, battery has dropped to a really low level! Selected ‘charge’ but it went back to two flickering lights. Grabbed my multimeter and checked the plug hidden in the rear left shock - Zero volts. Turned the ignition on - nothing. Rhymes with ‘clucking bell’!Put the charger back on ’store’ and it returned to store voltage (80%) in 5 minutes. Then took an hour to complete the charge. Ignition on, she started like a champion! Result - decided to drink beer with George and worry about it in the morning!
