just leave it on the charger longer. If that still doesn't work, take the battery to the dealer, it's covered under warrenty. Mine was. I drainied it twice, after that it wouldn't hold a charge.

Tender may not have enough amps to charge it if it's that low (if it does it will take a Long Time!!)

Oh Ya... Been there - Done that....

Currently finishing the charge at 2amp. The manual that was with the new charger I just bought has an 8 and 12amp option, however staes not to charge a motorcycle battery at 8 or 12 amps. Why?

Thanks
