Re: Rode fine all day, then it died completely no power anyw

Not that I'm impatient but how long should a new battery charge for at 1.5amps? Been charging since 5pm and is now 9pm and it still says its charging. Its a mate-free battery.

Re: Rode fine all day, then it died completely no power anyw

And I can smell something strange when I try and start it. Does not smell like wires getting hot. I'm thinking its the battery? Anyone else heard or experienced this?

Re: Rode fine all day, then it died completely no power anyw

Don't know if its a good thing or bad thing but I was standing over looking at everything and I can hear the fluids in the battery boiling while its being charged. Good or bad thing?

Re: Rode fine all day, then it died completely no power anyw

The pop was not a backfire and if the starter is located towards the front and bottom of the motor I think it came from that general area. I believe if the stand is down clutch in or out it will kill...
