  1. Hi guys. Follow the last thread I made I have now purchased the battery stated in the title. I'm a little confused about the initial charge and I've found conflicting answers. Some state that it is dry charged and I should fill it up with the acid let sit for 20 min and I'm good to go. Others say after that step I should put it on a battery charger for 12 hours. The instructions mentions neither so I'm a little lost. Any body have any experience with this battery?
     
  2. If you have purchased a battery that did not come filled, it is good practice to let the battery stand after filling. 20 minutes sounds a bit short as I have usually leave it for an hour before trickle charging overnight. You may find the battery has sufficient charge to fire the bike without problem but it will not have a full charge so IMO you are at a disadvantage to start with - no pun intended. It doesn't pay to rush things so giving the battery an overnight boost isn't going to delay getting out there. Good luck, Andy
     
  3. Thanks andy. It's just been over an hour now so will put it on charge. Can't wait to see it this fixes it!
