  1. image.jpeg image.jpeg A few days ago went for a ride out , after stopping at a mates for a coffee ,I went to set off and she just turned over a few times then everything went blank......no dash no anything just the clicking sound...so I managed to get back there today took off the battery and this is what I found would this be the issue & how does it happen ?
     
  2. The clicking will be the solenoid trying to connect.
    Lithium battery self-destructing?
     
  3. Looking at it again, maybe it's just an ordinary sealed battery.
    If so, it's probably just that your contacts have corroded, compromising the connection between battery leads and posts.
    Cure is to clean up all the connecting surfaces, tighten firmly and liberally smother with grease or preferably Vaseline to help prevent it happening again
