A pleasant holiday activity, but I thought you'd be under that new hoist...
I promised those cables for delivery by mid January. As for being under the new hoist, that will be next weekend.

Easier test:
1. Wait five years.
2. Replace battery.
With my K75, yes.
With my R1200R, no. Three years if you are lucky, and they tend to quit on short notice. Oh, and when it goes, the bike will not run, even if you jump it.
I am just concerned that sucking 130A out of a battery could shorten its life, even thought it rated at 200 CCA. I am an EE, but not real familiar with the internal limits of AGM batteries.
I think it depends on the failure mode. With an open circuit between two cells, the bike certainly will not start or run.
But a battery that's merely flat, or won't take a charge, will not prevent the bike from being jump-started and will allow the motor to continue running provided the rider doesn't turn it off. DAMHIK.
