I have a Desert Storm approx 1 year old. Lately it has developed some problems related to battery.
Initially, I found that, when I start (Self Start), the MIL light glows and turns off after 3 to 4 secs. As days passed, I was not able to self start the bullet. Had to go for kick start.
I immediately gave it for servicing. THe battery was given back to exide and they returned it fully charged. Again the same problems started after a few weeks.
My daily commute is only for 10 kms (total) and last 5 includes riding in dim light in traffic. So from various blogs , it seems that I am draining the battery gradually ( use of light and no speed above 60).
I was ok with only kick start, but it becomes a hassle in traffic. Also now, I had an accident and I cant kick start with my right leg. I have to put the bike on center stand and kick start with left leg.
The one solution that I found is to buy a battery charger, rather than having to give it to exide or local battery shops. The one good option that I came up with is Battery Tender from Deltran.
This is the ebay link.
Deltran Battery Tender Plus 12V 2 Bank Battery Charger System 2-Bank 022-0165
Can anyone help me out with my charging options? Has any1 used this product? Or any other product?
Is there anyway out from this problem. I will not be using my bull regularly. So I feel my option is limited to some sort of battery charger.
If any1 has experience in this matter, Please reply.
Thanks in Advance!!!
