My battery bug is telling me that my battery is 65%. At what percentage is it recommended to change? Any advantage to going with a gel battery over stock?
The reading could be misleading. The "Bug" remembers the worst condition. Lets say you backed up your bike about 25 FT or you aimed new driving lights or anything similar that would draw the voltage way down.
Even after riding or charging, the "Bug" is remembering that worst condition and constantly comparing it to the present working voltage :shock:.
The answer is to do a "Bug" reset. Disconnect it and reconnect. Sort of like a lobotomy on the little "Bugs" brain.
I got this info from Argus.
It happens because the battery is really a bit small for the Wing to save weight :shrug:.
It is the same battery used on the Honda VTX1800 bikes.
I have been seriously considering a reset button in the line to correct unusual voltage drop down readings :thumbup:.
Don't run out and purchase a new battery without trying a reset and watching the readings for a couple of days
