So I haven't been riding much, maybe about a month since I last took her out. Tried to start her this morning and it wouldn't go.
Plugged in the battery tender (the Junior version which is quite slow to charge) and in about half an hour I had a solid green light, which I found odd given that the battery was almost empty.
Tried to start the bike and it did, but with great difficulty. Ran it for a while, shut her down and plugged in the tender. Again, after 30 minutes I had a solid green.
Am I doing something wrong here? Why is the tender indicating green when clearly the battery is not fully charged?
Lastly, thinking about those Shorai batteries. What is the specific model everyone is using? Website recommends LFX19A4-BS12, just looking to confirm.
Thanks!
