[b]You should have some instructions in the box the battery came in. I would imagine that charging your battery at 1 amp for 4 to 8 hours would be sufficient.[/b] [b]Fred[/b]

Hi Bill,
If you need a cheap battery charge (shutoff) timer (0 to 24 hours), see

I was always under the impression that the batteries were already charged and simply drained of their acid. When you added the acid it was ready to go? Am I way off on this? [img]cid:003101bff1e0$3dffb600$38d91104@calis[/img]

Attachments : Yes. A battery never reaches its full charge if you just stick it into the bike without a charge. I've got it on the charger right now, 1 amp for about 6 hours ought to do it. I took it to the BMW shop (I bought a bike there so they filled it for nothing) and they filled it with acid. I had some, but not enough. Anyhow, you need to charge them, or you won't ever have a really good battery.
