Thanks for the replies so far. The battery is a scorpion battery - agm type- SYT14B-4. My charger has the function for agm batts specifically. Last nite, when I charged the batt and started the bike, I checked the batt - it said 13.6 volts. During lunch today, I ran home and checked the battery level again...12.8 volts. I tried to start the bike: it turned over fast for like two seconds or so- wahwahwahwha, then it made a SOUND. Not a sparky like sound, but something like it-kinda clicky like a connection was made. (My first thought was the batt connections weren't good, but they were tight). After the sound was made, the starter did the dead batt sound, Owah Owah Owah. After that I checked the voltage and it read 12.5 volts. By now, I gotta get back to work. I took the batt out of the bike and put it on a charger here at work. It wasn't on the charger for more than 3 minutes and was fully charged. Hmmmmm. We've hooked it up to a car light, to drain it and then we'll see how it charges. I want to see what the charger was charging the battery at in the agm mode and will find that out after we drain it down a bit. BTW, how many amps is normal for the starter to draw? Oh, the bike has 31000 miles on it.
