so as some of you know, i'm a rounder, so i have to get out on my bike periodically in the winter, but as i have no garage, i keep my bike at my parents house. i rode it today for the first time in 4 weeks and i couldn't get it started, the battery was amazingly dead, i had to put it on the tender for an hour to get it started....................
my question is this,
my bike stays in a tool shed, the shed is about 40 feet from the garage, i have a 50 foot extension cord leading from the garage to the shed where the tender and the bike are. my dad plugs the bike in for me once a week (in the garage), for about 8 hours while he's at work, then unplugs it when he gets home (what a swell guy ) anyway, he said he plugged it in last monday (but not today). i'm wondering if the tender, combined with the 50 foot cord is acting as a huge drain on the battery when unplugged in the garage. i would think that a battery, charged 7 days ago for 8+ hours would have plenty of charge, but for some reason, it didn't............
any thoughts????
