    2010 ZX10 battery issues - Please help

    Hi guys. I am having some issues with my ZX10 battery. Please provide some experienced help to rectify.
    Heres the background:
    -29 Nov 2014 - crashed road zx10 on trackday. (the bike hasnt been ridden since)
    -Sat in the workshop for a month or so getting fixed etc
    -i have turned the zx10 into a track bike. so all the lights, indicators have been taken off.
    -about 4 weeks ago i tried loading the bike to the trailer to practice. So i know the bike was starting and working then
    -2 weeks ago i tried turning the bike on again and it wouldnt work. So with the help of a friend i pushed started it and it started. I then left it on running for about 10 mins and turned it off. tried again after 10 mins and it didnt work. tried to push start again but with minimal effort and it didnt start. SO i thought its the battery drained out and i have a charger and i will charge it later.
    -yesterday i hooked the small battery charger that i have that can jump start cars and is supposed to be ok to use to the bike.
    - as soon as i hook it up the bike dash comes on but not enough juice to start the bike.
    -one hour later tried again. that time the bike tried to start but felt like there is no petrol (there is enough petrol in it)
    -left it overnight to charge. the battery charger and the bike is back to fully dead.

    What do you think the problem is and what i can do to fix it
    details of the charger i am using.
    Cpacity: 12000mAh
    outputs: 2X5V/2.1A, 1X12V/10A
    Jump start current - 200-400A

    I need to get it fixed urgently. Please help.

    Sounds like a dead battery. Disconnect the pos lead from the bike an charge it. When you've finished charging it (assuming lead acid batt) measure the voltage, should be some where between 12.3 and 12.6 volts.

    How do you know your charger is working OK?

    the reason i think it can charge the 12v or motorcycle battery is that there is a little symbol of motorcycle on the box and also one of the outputs is 12V/10A

    I dont know if the charger is working ok. I can only assume because the dash lights up immediately after hooking it up and after an hour when i try starting the bike, it makes the noise as if it want to start the engine. like it normally does when you push the starter. but it keeps making the noise and the engine doesnt start.
    and then i left it overnight and the battery charger and the battery both were fully dead.

    Sounds like a stuffed battery. If its the original one to the bike its due for one.

    12V 10A will not properly charge a motorcycle battery; the picture could be because it can jump start one though.

    Yup. Had that a couple of times and same on the car.

    But check out your charger first by the sounds.

    So you contacted the tech support and they couldn't help?
