Just wondering. My brothers v85 tt battery has refused to start the bike after a few months of non use. Is it possible to save it? Or replace? JJH
Battery AGM.
- Thread starter JJH
- Start date
Has it been on an optimate?
Has he tried charging the battery?

disconnect it from the bike and try to recover it with an Optimate or similar
the charger will not enter recovery mode if the battery is connected to the bike due to the voltage spikes needed
if the battery is very low and the charger does not start, try connecting another battery in parallel until the charger gets going

No yes with no luck. He’s going to bring battery to mine and I’ll try it on my better charger. I’d rather replace it if it’s only going to pretend to be able to hold a charge and let him down in a week or 2. Thanks. JJH
That’s the next step. JJH
Best junk it imho then.
He will never trust it ever again.
Don’t think a new battery is much over £60 delivered?!

Yes thanks. Options are not as good here in Ireland. Price isn’t really a stumbling point. Probably go lithium if replacing. I was really just wondering if the AGM type of battery is problematic in this situation. Thanks for the responses. JJH
Yes but can lie unused for much longer without losing its power. JJH
Yes but a lead acid battery actually loses charge while just sitting there discharging to nothing not even connected. JJH
