kirkThank you all for the helpful advise. And by the way, my dad also used to preach about leaving a battery on the concrete floor. Haha! I couldn’t help but laugh after reading your scientific explanation. I laugh because you make sense but what chance does science hold against a family tradition? Haha!
Gary, I guess I could run a really long cord from the house outside. I didn’t want to do this because the closest plug is a bit old. Didn’t want to start a fire. I will be taking the battery out this weekend and in the process I’ll check the connections. Either way I think I will be replacing the battery since this is the second time it dies. I am paranoid that it is permanently damaged and it will leave me stranded somewhere.
Jeff, would it be safe to assume that rather then turning on the bike for 10 minutes once a week, a 20 mile ride is preferable once a month?
