Well, since we had a nice afternoon yesterday, after the Texas frigged weather, after work I decided to take a short ride with my wife. Upon starting I noticed it seemed a little sluggish even though I use a Battery Tender Jr .75 amp. Didn't think too much of it and headed off.
Rode about 10 miles, stopped at local sporting good store and low and behold when we hopped back on she was dead! What to do? Well after the 4th try, we got her push started and headed home. Battery seemed to be charging on the way home, was right at 14 volts. When I got it back in the garage I shut her off and it would not start back up
BTW, I tend to start her weekly and about a week ago road to the auto parts store, which was about 5 total miles with no problems. So I am perplexed as to why it is acting up.
Could the Battery Tender be acting up even though it shows it is charging? Oh yeah almost forgot, I got the Battery Tender 2 months ago and switch it back and forth from my Harley and Dirt bike. After fully charging my dirt bike and the tender being on for a couple of week it was dead as well.
Thoughts or suggestions.
