Considering the battery on my new (to me) tlr is most likely stock (and 6 years old) it needed a new battery after the old one wouldnt hold charge. I got a stock replacement (yuasa) and was just curious after charging what should the voltage be? it was at 12.6 once i filled it up and after charging about 12 hours at 1A its at about 12.9V. Thanks

It should settle at around 12.6 - 12.8V depending on temperature.

The battery that I have has a note on it that says "standard voltage should be no less then 12.8v".

Gotcha. Thanks. Didnt come with any sort of instructions...lol

what is the voltage of a dead batt

 

[Steve TLS]

Less than 12.6V :laugh

 

[shoei]

oh my....how long can a fresh batt last?

 

[Steve TLS]

A battery can lose from 1/2 - 1% per day.

Its amazing how well the bike starts when the RIGHT battery is on it...

Previous owner had a Yuasa 9 amp battery....its a 12A on the tl...:laugh

I just bought a new battery and charged it up. After full charge I get a 12.93 voltage reading. And GOD DAMN it was an amazing thing to have the bike start right up without worrying about it killing the battery before firing up.

So you get your + thing fixed?
