Hi guys,
I think I may have a problem with both of my Bucket Batteries.
I have tried the charger that came with the bike, the 'trickle' charger I got with the new battery I brought and a higher quality Projecta brand trickle charger also.I check the voltage of the battery with a multimeter, it shows 12.7ish volts.I hook it upto the bike and flick the switch on and the voltage immediatly drops to 8ish volts.Surely this is showing the battery has only been 'surface' charged right?As soon as I flick the switch on the bike off the voltage of the battery drops right down the 10ish volts.
Any help or a lend of a battery for this weekend would be awsome if you have one spare.
Thanks
Gaz
