Hey guys,
I bought a new battery in September when I bought the bike. The battery actually hasn't gone dead yet but I haven't done too much riding on it (maybe 40 miles) and have charged it a few times. I was planning on riding today so I put it on my battery tender (Battery Tender Junior) last night and it stayed solid red (indicating it was charging) until I went to bed. When I got up this morning it was flashing red (battery not charging) and the bike was completely dead. The bike was off all night and I checked with my bolt meter and it was completely COMPLETELY dead.
Did the battery tender kill my battery? Any other idea what was going on, haven't had really any electrical issues minus yesterday trying to figure out why my tailight was dead (ground came disconnected).
Thanks!
Edit: I should note, thi is the first time using the battery tender.
