At the risk of jinxing my own situation ...

I have a September 2016 RS on the original battery which is usually connected via a pigtail to an Optimate 4 when not in use. Never had an issue.

No comments please from those who consider "always connected/conditioning" is a bad thing - it's not.

Thats low, but could have been sat on the shelf for a good while.

For future reference, Tanya are a great supplier of batteries for bike cars etc, generally with next day delivery.

A good trickle charge on an intelligent charger should help

Forum wisdom needed please

Wemt to my Rs this week, n=t used it for a few weeks. Refused to start battery showing 11.6amp. So no surpirse. Bike is Aoril 17 regsitered on first battery. Connected canbus socket charger and by next day 12.2 amp and startung fine. Discinnected and monitoered ove r a few days. Today 12.1amp and started ok.
In the menatine I bought a new battery as I figured I will need one in next few months. Put that on - sod me - shows 11.6 amp and bike would not start . So battery off and onto charger.
Is the new battery defetive or maybe on thre shelf for a whie and needs a boost to full ampage. its from Halford so easyy ebough to exchange.

Goping away for a few days wednesday and dont want to start the trip with weak battery. Wisdom please !

If it were me I'd keep my existing battery for the upcoming trip. New one is probably OK but if the old one continues to do it's job I would stick with it until after the trip

What I do is listen for the slightest sign of hesitation in cranking on start up with the battery properly charged. If not it is good to go especially in summer when on tour with the bike getting daily use. Come the winter you might change then with less use and cold cranking ability more essential.
