Hi New here, Thank you for your help
My 2012 Ultra Limited is on a battery tender when I am not riding. Bike started fine two weeks ago for just firing it up in the garage. Could not ride then as there was still snow on the ground.
Yesterday I unplugged the battery tender and turned on the ingintion hit the started button and the thing went dead. Nothing, no lights dead!
Plugged in the charger again and left it over night. Today nothing dead. no lights zip!
Is my battery dead after a long cold winter in an unheated garage?,
or did i blow the main fuse?
Thanks from Ontario Canada

 

Welcome to the Forum from Utah.

Put your voltmeter on the battery terminals and see what you have, should be 12.8 or a bit higher. If the battery is low take it out and put it on a charger and have it load tested. Then check for voltage at the tender lead, it is fused so if you don't see battery voltage the fuse may be bad.

 

what he said ^^^

 

If you hit the starter button and everything goes dead I would bet a bad connection, probably at the battery.

 

You can`t answer this question yourself?

Pull the battery, fully charge it and take it to an auto parts store and have it load tested.

Clean all electrical connections before installing a known good battery.

 

Before I bother travelling around with the battery, check the connections, then put a volt meter on the battery.

 

A volt meter may tell you the battery is low, but it will not tell you if it is good working condition, only a load test will do that.
