Ordered a lithium battery tracker from Antigravity batteries (folks who made the 12-cell Li battery I am using). I had some odd electrical issues over the years (notably batteries going flat, the bike cutting out in the rain). So I replaced the entire wiring harness a couple of years back and all has been good since. However, I have the battery hooked up via a quick-disconnect and unplug after every ride (have a lingering fear of killing another battery).
I am up to date on everything now (new stator, SH847 series R/R, new ignition switch) and hope this bug is but a distant memory. I wired in an LED voltage indicator and it's always green, so everything looks good. Not wanting to walk up to a dead bike, I take no chance and plug and unplug the battery all the time. I long for the good old days of just pulling in, removing the key and leaving. So, I just stumbled onto a little device that should help me to evaluate the situation
https://antigravitybatteries.com/produc ... r-lithium/. It will allow me to monitor any drainage or loss, any time, and all the time. Li batteries have many benefits, but they do not take well to over-draining... (trust me on this, lol)
Should get said device any day now and look forward to hooking it up. With motorcycle vacation time around the corner, it would be nice to leave knowing everything is up to par.
So, will keep you folks posted (if you like, of course)
