[Ducati] Cooked battery: Part two.

[Ronald Betts]

Doh !!! Man was I stuck on stupid. Had to share this embarrasing moment with 
my buddies. Remember I thought I had a charging problem ? Then I tested for 
availible voltage at the sterter and it was OK. So , I think brushes. 
Nope......I was about to take everything apart and the first thing I do is 
remove the seat, lift the tank, disconnect the battery, lift the battery out 
into the sunlight and shock of shocks..........My battery is bone dry, or as 
close as you can get. I buy some distilled water and hook it up to the 
Battery Tender,the battery that is, for a few hours and like magic, she 
starts! I check the voltage at idle, 13.5 to 14 and at 6000 it reads 14.5 
and nothing higher. Hallaluya and Amen Brothers and Sisters !!!  Funny that 
the longer I twist a wrench the stupider I get.....Sheesh ! But thanks for 
all your input and suggestions. Thats what makes for a great List.
