Anyone experienced an issue with repeated battery drains to the point they can not be recharged? This is happening without key in the ignition and nothing left on. Could it be an electrical short? I’m stumped.
You might want to expand on the can not be recharged bit. If that's literally the case then it's time for a new battery, and possibly to check for a parasitic drain.to the point they can not be recharged?
The battery in the ST's is marginally big enough for the bike. It does not take much of a parasitic load to quickly discharge the battery to a point where it will not start the engine.Not sure if motorcycle batteries give up quicker.
Yes, the 12v-to-5v voltage regulator's electronics are active with or without a load.it seems like a small drain, but it is constant, even when nothing is plugged into it.
Because of a new member reading through old threads that are new to him and then responding to them. It's all good, it adds to the information base.Interesting this was resurrected, considering the OP never responded back, and hasn't been seen since they posted her New Years day
