Title: Re: Battery-problems

Hi, My problem is not a dry out battery,I made sure to check the water level almost every one or two weeks, I think it's mainly the very short distance that contribute to fast discharge, In Singapore it is require by law, to ride with the head light on full time.Sometime when I am in town, it's basically start, ride a few minutes stop and start again.Quite a headache to this problem.   Tan Singapore ---- Original Message ----- From: Sat Tara S.

Top it off with distilled water whenever it gets low. I'll bet that your toasted batts are the result of boiling your batteries dry. best, Sat Tara on 12/2/00 6:36 AM, Tan Hang Siah at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Singapore is also a hot year round country, my battery last at most one year sometime only eight month, I think maybe I ride mostly very short distance.Cannot find a charger like the battery tender here.Even if can get hold of one also very difficult to get it connect to the bike because we live mainly in high-rise housing,really envy you guy that have garage.
