The charging/discharging keeps it alive. If it sits for too long it can't be effectively desulfated ever again. New one is in order.

Kind of a right of passage.There's an agm that I got at walmart that is a few cm's off the correct dimension of the lead acid correct size. It is a bit wide and sticks out of the battery box, but was a good choice. Other than a few10 minute trickle charger sessions to top her off, it's been a perfect battery. I brought the old batt there to side by side the comparison. Once you have good volts, and you know your fuses are all good, you can check all the connections. Polish them up with a wire brush to expose fresh metal, and put dielectric grease where it need to be to protectkey places from corrosion, which on these old bikes is a fact of life.Nothing you can't sort out in an after noon with a pot of coffee nearby. Good luck!On Sat, Oct 17, 2020 at 8:30 AM Graham Rogers <grahamjo...@gmail.com> wrote:No voltage at all?On Fri, Oct 16, 2020 at 8:06 PM Thomas Ware <ware...@gmail.com> wrote:So the battery isn’t reading any voltage.. I’m measuring post to post, correct? There is some fluid surrounding the caps and some more that came out of the overflow.. and oxidized my center stand a bit :-/ I can hear the fluid bubbling inside the battery when I turn the key. All fuses in the box on the handlebars look good but I didn’t try to pass any current through them. I couldn’t get any reading off of them either. Is my battery dead? I’ve got more electrolyte fluid and could try to refill it.On Monday, October 12, 2020 at 10:58:27 PM UTC-4 wrench...@gmail.com wrote:Check the fuses, under the plate in the center of the handlebars beneath the displayOn Mon, Oct 12, 2020 at 10:54 AM Tombo <ware...@gmail.com> wrote:Hey y'all I was trying to jumpstart my 700S and ended up shorting out the positive+negative posts on the battery. The trickle charger that is in line now won't charge the battery (blinks red).There is enough juice for the starter to turn over once or twice, so it's still outputting, but it's also still dead. What did I break? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.

Fortunately the e-free station is only about 6 or 7 miles away and I don’t ride much anyway - mostly test riding bikes, mine or others and just keeping them running. Not sure of the results of e-free yet and now I have a whole garage of different bikes than last year so it’s hard to compare from one winter to the next. I now only have one Nighthawk but 4 super magnas. I don’t know how they handle storage and not being ridden, e-free vs non e-free, etc. So far I’m pretty impressed. My Nighthawks (700S) has to be ridden more often and is more susceptible to carb issues. That was true of most of my other Nighthawks over the years.

Since I bought it, I have not turned off the fuel: the prior owner said he re-built the petcock (due to leaking?), and he told me he suggested just leaving it "on", as he thought that the constant off/on cycling would just wear it out faster; seemed reasonable to me, maybe I should rethink that.
