Dead battery.

[Delboy777]

Connecting the live terminal to earth should completely burn out the wire even is it's a starter motor size wire. The very fact nothing much happened proved the battery was either flat or fekked.

Lead acids do not like being left unused. They WILL self discharge and grow hard sulphate as a result leading to less capacity and a short life. Either use the conditioning charger when the bike is not used or get a totally different type of battery that wont be harmed if left unused for months.

Bendy, there was nothing wrong with the battery when i fucked up and connected the earth of the PC to the live side of the battery. Doing that is what caused the battery to go flat. The PC must be polarity protected as no other damage occured other than the batt. Im counting myself very lucky at not having caused a load of damage due to my incompetance.

Very lucky indeed. The last time I did something like that I got molton copper in may face.
