I bought a new PC680 to replace my 3 yr old dead one. Upon installing it, the battery cranks the starter when the leads are connected????

It is not suppose, the Odyssey other than a good quality battery is not different than any other battery. Suggest you check your bike starting system, something is not correct.

If you bike is a 99 or 200 LT you need to replace the starter relay that got welded shut when your old battery was low and you attempted to start the engine. More answers on bmwlt.com.

Sorry for your problem with the battery install. If the new battery is not defective, sounds like the main unit is defective. I obtained the batteries as a gift for my daughter. She installed the new batteries and selected the option of new batteries installed. Then left the unit in the home dock, charging overnight. Went from running less that 5 min to completing the whole area for approx 50 min never having to go home for a recharge. Runs like new again

I found it was just cheaper and less trouble to replace the ballast. I also discovered that the ballast life depends upon whether the lights are off when the starter is actuated. If the lights are on when my starter is actuated, it causes a low voltage/high current situation in the ballast nearest the battery. I had two units from different manufacturers fail like that before I figured out what was going on.

I bought a kit that had it in the power lead. I would recommend it since it is connect directly to the battery

No, but it does not matter the red cable on one post from battery and the other one goes to the starter and the ignition wire plugs into the tab. Also a black ground wire is bolted to the mounting bracket of the solenoid. hope this answer your question.

Mine starts great, can't complain at all. My first one had problems with the inverter and they sent me a new one, no problems since.

It happens to me too. Especially when using a third-party battery. When I use the battery it came with, it starts up in a few seconds.

The two small wires in the relay -one connect to center post on your starter and one to body ground. The two large post with nuts- one post to positive battery post and the other post connected to your starter motor!Good luck......Joel

You should be good if you hook it to either the starter or lights some how if you hook it directly to the battery just make sure you turn off the power when bike is not running

First use NEW batteries. I thought my so-called NEW batteries were fresh and up to charge. They were not! Get a battery tester. Once I had batteries that had a full charge It started without having to do it manually. I do not manually do it any different than the other six answers in any major aspect. I had to start it manually until I realized that I had new batteries that did not have a full charge. Now it works fine without having to resort to manual operation.

don't count on any new battery to be fully charged! mine had a charge but I'm sure it was not 100% charged. Once installed your system should start charging it.

I believe that is untrue. That owner likely misfired his unit. There should be a primary wire to power that is turned on by the ignition key. I think there is a secondary line that goes direct to battery so that the presets do not get lost.

Should if your old starter has a steel gear and not a plastic gear on it. You May have a plug in issue I don't know. If that's the case I would just cut it off. This starter just has a stud and nut to connect your wires. Hope it helps!

I ordered two of them and when installed I got same message. Charged and the work fine however they do say battery needs service at start up???

The battery is charged when the unit is running. My battery runs down over time so I usually have to pull start it the first time after prolonged storage. Once it has operated for about 1/2 hour or so, the battery seems to be fine.
