Temporarily Heating Garage

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by Symon Moore, Apr 7, 2021.

  1. Had a similar problem. It would charge, but take less than a week to nearly die if I took it off and forgot to put it back on charge. I swapped to a lithium one now, find them better. I have a detached single skin garage so it's pretty damn terrible in winter. Poor bike didn't like it.
     
  2. My 916 would eat batteries like smarties if I let it. Some bikes are just bastards. Despite my 916 being wrapped in a lovely warm blanket and a proper cover. Only the optimate has halted the 916's battery consumption habit. She also chews thru reg/rects. But they're her only foible.

  4. Lithium don’t like cold brrrrr
     
  5. Only thing I leave on pretty permanently is the car on a maintainer. Bikes stay off. If I have not used a while, I put on every now and then and make sure it’s on a day before I use it. But no trackers or alarms to draw power.
