First time flat battery

[knutk]

That's interesting information, maybe the batteries on the 1250GS self discharge more quickly than batteries on the other bikes? or the 1250GS simply consumes more 'standby' current?

The GS has a 12Ah battery, The K16 battery is at 20Ah.

yes but AGM only go down a little and cannot start bike, and can only use 30% of power, Lithium can use all power and be wake up easily again with little heat from lights start bike without turn engine 4 or 5 times, battery below will fix all problems with trackers for future, if you pay 20,000 gbp for new bike 250gbp more is not a lot to be sure and safe, and fit perfect in bike.

1.36 Kg versus 4.6Kg for a Yuasa , but £260
Is the weight saving worthwhile?

weight is bonus, but reason have nothing to do with weight, it is way Lithium work and need no charger

For the sake of £15 pounds upwards - just buy a trickle charger.
I use a £12.99 Lidl special I purchased 5 years ago on two bikes. Alternate weekly between bikes and all is well.

Or as Winjar states buy a more expensive battery.

Out of curiosity, what is the actual Ah of the battery - I believe the term 'PbEq' means equivalent, rather than actual?

Could be important if you have something with a constant current drain attached, such as a tracker/alarm.

Hello … after being let down by the standard battery on my 1250 GSA (same scenario, out of the garage, a few miles and a number of restarts the bike simply does not have enough grunt to turn her over; no tracker, just the BMW SIM, and Optimate 4 when she’s in the garage).

Wondering if there is long term experience with the ATX12-HD (battery with plenty of CCA) in this forum …

Thank you
