    Bought an APEX APX12220 Battery Last Dec.

    It went bad about 2 weeks ago wouldn't start the bike which gets run every week. Won't charge over 12.06 volts and won't start the bike even right after charging. Contacted APEX this Monday 9/19 2016. Talked with Mike the Sales Manager. He E-Mailed me a questionnaire that I filled out right then...

    battery charged but nothing works

    Replaced my rusted gas tank and in the process had dropped the fender and disconnected wiring for taillights. Working on getting everything connected right but now nothing comes on when I turn the ignition. Battery is at 100%. Fuses are fine unless there are some elsewhere than the box on top...

    Oops, dead battery

    So I have on of the green batteries posted here, love it, recently I purchased a battery tender to usb connector for a trip, since my main usb charger had been on the fritz. Well I neglected to zip tie it down, and the usb must have come loose, so it ended up on the pipe. Melting ensued, and I...

    Lithium battery?

    Has anyone had any experience with these batteries. They arent cheap but if they work like the spec says it should might be worth the cost. Weight saving wont hurt either...

    Bikemaster Tru-Gel Battery

    I am tired of having to remove my '05 V-max battery to refill the water. A pain. Has anyone tried or heard anything about the Bikemaster Tru-Gel battery? I am concerned about the 175 CCA since my Yuasas have been 200 CCA and have performed well as have my Interstates. The Bikemaster fits...

    Battery questions..

    So a couple of years ago I needed to replace my battery, and here down under they are SO expensive I ended up getting a boring old wet one :confused2: Sure enough, now it's already dead and need replacing. I hate wet batteries. When I lived in the US I could get an AGM or gel for a decent...

    Different type of battery question.

    Ok...I'm a bit short on space so the battery fitment will be interesting. Could someone tell the smallest battery that will power the max ? Or is it possible to hook up 2 seperate smaller ones ? Cheers

    Battery Question

    Battery Question I purchased a PC680 ODYSSEY Drycell Battery in 2010. This was supposed to be the cat's meow back in that year. Very heavy though (16 lbs) nearly twice what the OEM battery was. Lots of cranking amps and still works like new at the moment. However; I am probably pushing its...

    Battery died, bike won't run on a jump start

    Battery died. Threw jumper cables on it, started right up. Take battery cables off, bike dies. I let the dead battery charge via donner charging vehicle for 20min. Got a voltage of 10.5V. I take it battery is toast? Cause: Left ignition on for 7 days.

    Battery pooped the bed.

    Been riding a month or so with the new MOSFET regulator. All seemed well, but I noticed the non running voltage seemed to have dropped a bit. Bike seemed to have a tiny amount of trouble cranking sometimes, too. Well, it sat over a week while I was at Thunder, and only showed 10.1 Volts at...

    Battery Tender for multiple batteries?

    I presently have (2) battery tender juniors, but between my bikes, trailer, and mower I need (5). I can take them all out and put them on a counter in my shop. Does anyone here use one on multiple batteries, and if so, what model? I think I am going to convert to AGM batteries as they...

    Changed battery

    My bike was running ragged, wouldnt idle well, etc. Boost would come on and off at wrong rpms. I thought it was the Dynatek CDI or the jet kit that I had installed and was going to replace it with stock. But my battery died on me so had to find a new one, replaced it with a yuasa 20amp that we...

    Question about battery charging

    Hey guys! I came across this problem only yesterday. I have a new battery that was fully charged 2 weeks ago. I was using the bike to commute to work on a daily basis (a couple of miles really). Lights and all electronics work as they should. Lights do not dim when rpms are low. DUring the...
