another battery going in the bin
I wonder if its possible sensible or just plain stupid but can I fit a second standard battery under the seat ?
theres plenty of room ?
Producers have become smarter and started making things less and less lasting, so we have to buy new ones.
Check your charging voltage. Should be about 12.5 volts on idle, and between 13.5 and 14 at 4000 plus revs. Never below 13.5 and never above 14 V.
If voltage is good, than there's no cure. Try checking it with all the lights/heaters/etc. It should still be above 13.5 V.
Adding more batteries will be a problem. Fazer's charger is optimized for 10 VA capacity and will not charge much larger capacity batteries. You MIGHT go with 10-20% more (like 12 VA), but that's it. Adding another whole battery will be a problem.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
