Evening all i went to strike my 848 up this evening after being away the past week,all I got was all the sounds of the electrics doing there bit then a code saying error batt 5.2 10.2 volts showing on dash then changes to low,my optimate charger is flashing green as it always has. Do you reckon the battery's knackard? cheers guys
10 volts seems low.. Should be over 12, then 14.4 ish while running. Sounds like the optimate hasn't been doing its job.
Yep last week it was running at 14.1 The bike hasn't been on the road for just under 5 months,wondering if the battery's knackard,hope its nothing worse as it'll soon be time for some sun!
How long did you run it for last week. Try jumping it and taking it out for a good blast then see if it holds charge. Remember, if you jump it from a car, don't do it with the car running. does the bike have an alarm that could be messing with optimate?
Literally started it in the garage for 10 mins just to warm her up a bit. yep the bikes alarmed with a data tool s4 which is always on as is the optimate.
Could be that start that's done it. Did you run it until the fans kicked in? I was always told, as a general rule that you need to do 11 miles to get the charge back into a battery after starting. jump it and have a good ride. It should be ok? (Watch me get proved wrong now!)
Finished putting mine back together today and went to take it for a bimble. Battery was reading 11.1 and it only just fired up when I went to warm it up. First time I tried it just cut all power and reset the clock on it (which I'm sincerely hoping is just the battery being so low) so it may well be that the battery has got too low to fire it up :frown:
