Ok, I've seen some posts about batteries and charging them, etc.
Here is another one.
How many days can a battery last in a bike without starting it?
User's manual says something, but I've noticed it might be wrong. So I better ask the real experts.
Look, if I don't use the bike in 3-4 days it discharges easily.
Yesterday it started fine, but after driving for nearly two miles it just died when I stopped at a traffic light. I had to jump it with cables. :x
It has happened twice. This is a 2004 F250 with 1100 miles on it. I wonder if the battery could be messed up. I just checked voltage and values are 13.7 Volts nonrunning, 14.5 Volts @ idle, and 16.4 Volts @ 3000 RPM.
I will be out of town for 2 weeks and I wonder what's the best way to avoid this from happening.
Comments are welcome! :wink:
