When you up shifted gears, it would make a single misf (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Checking and Charging Motorcycle Batteries |
| |
| How are Motorcycle Batteries Rated?The amp/hour (AH) capacity is the basis for rating motorcycle batteries. For example, a 12AH battery can produce one amp of current flow for 12 hours, or two amps for six hours. In order to calculate the amount of time needed to use up a fully charged motorcycle battery by turning the lights on, we have to take power in watts, and divide it by voltage, which gives us the current draw in Amps. Therefore, a 72 watts beam and tail together, divided by 12 volts equals a 6-amp draw. So in 2 hours, the 12AH battery is dead.Checking Motorcycle Battery:If you decide to check if your new motorcycle battery is done correctly, follow this actua (read full article) |

But its size does not mean easy maintenance for the battery.For one thing, these batteries lose one percent of their charge per day just sitting there doing nothing. So you can see that you just can't park it, walk away, and come back in four or five months and expect it to work. Amazingly some of them do work after that kind of abuse, but a greater number of them don't.A modern motorcycle battery is a marvel of compact packaging.
