Folks
I think I put myself in an interesting, albeit ironical situation. I replaced all lights to LEDs and changed the relay to digital for turn signals. Through the process I switched on/off the bike without starting as I replaced the lights one by one. I had also left the key in auxiliary light position for few hours and net result was the battery was dead. Its a 'Voltz Power' brand. I then charged it back upto full and wanted to take the bike out for a ride. It started, idled fine, rode around the block fine but when I revved it upto 5000 or so RPM, the bike died and wouldnt start again.
The lights do come but the bike never started. I have checked the circuits to ensure no shorts on the bike and its coming clean.
Since then I have charged the battery to full, but the bike just doesnt seem to start though the lights do come on.
Few observations on the battery voltages:
When not starting the voltage is around 12.5V, with 95% capacity
When fully charged its at 13.4V at 100% capacity
When fully charged, and bike tried to start but wont, it drops back to 95% capacity and 12.4 - 12.5 V
I bought the bike used in June and the dealer sticker says its from that time.
Question, would this be the battery or can I check something else to confirm thats the problem or not? I am OK to replace a new one but the date of 6/2022 is causing me concern that I didnt screw up something else. Thanks much for your suggestions, guidance.
