Odyssey pc680 issue

[jby1999]

Battery is about 2 years old...
Been in ctek3300 since last season says it's charged turn key servo goes slow and of course clicky click click
Ctek goes to charge mode
I pull battery out goto to charge with my rc lipo multi charger model icharger 308 pretty serious computerized charger for my rc planes. Anywho battery reads 13.2 my charger put in 1300 mah in 2:03 I stopped it. My question is where do I look on bike for issues I didn't load test battery but it charged and said full and was pretty full before I charged. I'll check voltage after work tomorrow to determine resting but I'm afraid if I drop it in ill get the clicky click again?
If a battery has voltage capacity can it still not provide the amps needed for the starter or do I have another issue. Was gonna try to hook a car batt to bike to see if it turned over no problem but that is some rigging. I know I put a stator in 5 years ago and a rr 2 years ago.

Nothing will happen if the battery gets as low as 10.5V or something like that. If it got sulfated, it could be showing different resistance (I think) and the charger will think that it's ready to go, when it's really now. What does it show on a volt meter just sitting there after being off the charger for a couple hours?

Something to consider. My bike did the exact same thing with the odyssey battery only because it was overcharging and I didn't know it. The original acid batteries smell like hard boiled eggs when they are overcharging and the newer lead batteries do not. If you can get it fired up, see what you have for voltage post to post and take it from there. Mine showed 13.2v just sitting there but cranked like shit because of the overcharge on long rides was killing it....good luck

Have you tried jumping across the solonoid and watch the volt meter?

My PC680 was drawn down to a flat state due to a vampire usb outlet while in storage. I read that you can recover up to 97% of original when it's in this state. The process is to charge it for 12 hours at up to 15 amp hours only pausing if the battery get overly hot. The pc680 acts as if new now!
I also just upgraded my R/R to a mofset unit from a 2007 R1 which is charging at 14.4v @ 3k rpms.
Do maintenance to all your grounding points and use dielectric grease to seal up all electrical connections.
The pc680 is a absorbed glass mat battery, here is some info and tricks to charge them:

Here is a interesting discussion regarding wheter or not the Deltran Battery tender jr (what I'm currently using) will properly charge the pc680: http://www.goldwingfacts.com/forums...ssey-pc680-deltran-battery-tender-junior.html
