battery on 78 gs 550
« on: July 07, 2022, 04:18:50 PM »
Just got a 78 gs550 and charged the battery and put it back in bike. Went to push starter button and nothing. Battery tested at 13.3 and when i hit the button drops to 6.5 on meter...can i assume that the battery is no good. Also was looking for the fuses, only found 1..Have Manuel coming but a few days out..tks and stay safe

I have been hearing about batteries with bad cells, or connections between cells, more often lately on ICE forums.  I get the impression that the pandemic has affected battery manufacturing in some way that is producing more defective batteries than in the past.  ???
