So I have an AGM type battery for my honda cb360. I actually borrowed it from my track car haha. When I first started working on the bike a few months ago, the battery seemed fine and held a charge, enough to crank the bike a few times before wearing down, and then I would hook it up to charge on trickle over night and would be fine again. I was not riding the bike, only troubleshooting running and electrical stuff.
I left the bike for a while since I had no money to continue fixing things. I went back at it and the battery was completely dead, and only showed .2v on the multimeter. I have tried all I can do with my charger and at current is the highest voltage it has held, only 7.8v.
I have tried to trickle charge over night with zero improvement. Hooked up in parallel with a fully charged battery and charged over night, which brought it up to the current voltage. No amount of charging will get it any higher than that. I try not to charge for over 8-15hrs to avoid worse damage.
Any other tips or is this thing done? I have read often that you shouldn't let the battery get below 50% (which is around 11v or so) and it was WAAAAAY below that at barely showing .2v.
