Default Correct battery charging ?

Hello,

Just wondering what is the correct way to charge a C50 battery. I have not used my C50 for about four weeks and although the fuel injection works when you flip the switch all I get is clicking when I try to fire up the bike. Asuming that the battery was flat I purchased a trickle charger from my Suzuki Motorcycle Dealer.

My battery is 12volt and the charger does 6 and 12 volt and is Suzuki Motorcycles branded so I presume it is the correct one.

Upon reading the instructions that came with it, I am now not sure how to connect it. I would have thought...connect positive to positive....negative to negative and turn on the charger.....the instructions say otherwise.

I should point out that I am trying to charge the battery while it is still in the bike rather than mess about taking it out.

The instructions say something about connecting positive to positive and the negative clip to the frame of the bike....that doesn't sound right to me...has anyone got any thoughts or experiences that can steer me in the right direction. Obviously I am not mechanically minded so any help would be appreciated

Thanks

I would follow the instruction that came with the charger. The charge system of the bike like most vehicles does ground to the chasis or frame

The best I can tell you is when you are searching for the packet, try to do only that while you are searching. Ex. When you want to try to find packet on buying something, start searching, buy it, check the log.

Do that as fast as you can and that is how you can find the packets you want.

I don't have enough knowledge on cars but i
think charging would consume an hour or more.
Its an electric car and i think it can be charged even
it is not fully discharged.

you better ask the dealer of that battery.
I think they know how to charge those and
look for the manual of that battery upon
purchasing. I think it has.

Your right but we should consider the quality of the products if we want to purchase new one.

Like last year, i purchase some battery and car lights in a particular car parts dealer and I am very happy cuz until now it functions well.
