Many of you will think this is a dumb question but I really do need your advice
My 2010 BMW F650GS twin had to go into storage as I moved house. The bike is fitted with spotlights directly connected to the battery & during the 4 day drive they were inadvertently turned on and now the battery is totally flat.
There is no power in the storage unit so I can't put the battery on charge.
Many moons ago, I'm fairly sure I read that jump-starting a BMW battery into life should be avoided but can't remember why.
Is there a gadget that allows me to charge the battery without it being plugged into the mains?
What's the best & safest way to get the bike started without using a charger?
Should I be aware of any problems that may occur from disconnecting the battery or jump-starting it?
