Last week, I ran by new battery out by forgetting my key in the bike, lights and everything else on. Tried to roll start her. Nope. Trickle charged at deep cycle, 2AMP, and no real take in the time I had.
Tried to jump using the trickle charger when I ran out of time using the 55AMP jump setting. No go, but regretted doing it.
It's not nothing, it's the grunt of a starter. A lame grunt. Afraid I fried something using the jump mode.
Next day, trickled it on 2A normal and it got some charge.
Called Khanh Nguyen at EUBMW for some help. He's a new dad! A 2nd boy! Mazel tov! He said I didn't do anything wrong and an overnight at 2AMP trickle should make it all right.
The building manager told me I needed to move the bike. Folks pushed me and I got started. Rode 80MPH+ around 495 for around 45 minutes (Columbia Pike to 395S to 495 inner loop to GW Parkway, got hope, parked, tried starting her.
Same lame starter grind, it feels like she didn't take any charge.
Wondering if I fried anything (I didn't jump with a car) or if the battery is shot or if I did something else stupid.
In the perfect world, I would just need a new battery (even though this one is only months old).
Any advice? Any insight?
Thanks in advance!
