I charged mine on a trickle charger for 12 hours and it does not have enough juice to start my bike.. am I doing something wrong or is it the battery

How old is the battery? Is it trying to turn over? 12 hours should be enough to charge up the battery.

Good ? I never look. I leave the trickle charge on for 12+ hrs then just start my vehicle!

should be charge it - it is a trickle charger not a quick charger but it should charge it

Check batt with volt meter. Less than 7volts will do that. Battery might be hosed. Try the boost mode.

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine seems to be working fine. I've used mine for more than 6 minutes. Make sure it is fully charged before using it.

The charger comes with a quick connect/dis-connect lead. You connect the shorter section to you battery and route the lead down any where you want to keep it. That's a one time deal; you just leave it on if you want to keep the battery in the bike, and plug in the "trickle charger" from time to time. I pretty much plug mine in anytime I'm not riding (you cannot over charge by leaving it on.

i guess i should have also asked HOW FAST did you crank, you don't have to go crazy fast, but if you go incredibly slow, it will take forever to charge the battery sufficiently. But i think it's most likely the battery is just old and too weak to charge, or possibly the battery wire is not properly connected.

I can solve this very easy buy a Yousa battery!!!! my power source was junk and have talked to other bikers who feel the same way. put my 5yr old yousa back in and I am still riding but need a trickle charge if I dont ride in a month. this spring I will be the proud owner of another yousa but if you buy the power source you can return with no problem.

Only have it in there when it needs it. Try to get the battery level as low as you can. It shouldn't take more than a 4 hours to charge. Mine usually takes 2-3 hours.

Erik,I may not be the right one to provide a feedback as I hardly used the scooter after I bought this battery last year. Having said that, I was surprised to see the battery had some juice left when I tried to start the scooter in the early spring couple of days ago. By the way, my scooter was in the garage all winter and I did not detach the batter all winter. Hope, this helps.

You can charge it to full with a normal lead acid battery charger, but do not keep it charging. Unplug it after the charger indicates full. The trickle/maintenance charge feature will damage the battery. But the good new is you probably won't need a charger at all. For the past six months I have only been riding (or cranking and letting it idle) once every two or three weeks and the battery stays charged. But if you can't live without a trickle charger, they offer a charger specialized for this type of battery, that won't cause any damage.

You need to charge it first. By the way, it is a trickle charger. It will take a while to get up enough charge to start the car. It does not fully charge.

Sorry, I can't shed any light on the subject, Brian. After ordering the charger I discovered the problem was with my battery not the charger - I returned the charger I purchased through Amazon. My battery had run too low to be charged using any charger. I had to take it to a golf cart service store and they got it up and running for me. The charger I had was perfectly OK.

If you ran your copter for 5 minutes, the battery should definitely be low enough to need charging. So if there was never a green led while you had it plugged in for charging, then there is definitely something wrong with either the charger or the battery. I'm guessing it is the charger since you did get 5 minutes on the battery, but I could be wrong.

It needs a new batttery, or the charger is bad.Check the volt output on charger.

I would definitely be blaming the stock battery mine only charged like 3 times before it would barely move after charging it. Get a lipo battery.

You should make sure your battery is seated properly - the negative side of the battery should be against the spring. If the battery does not make contact with the charging points, of the charger, it will not charge the battery. If your battery cell is drained then you should allow the battery to charge for at least 4 hours. If you feel the battery or charger is defective contact the seller and they will replace either one of them. This is very rare but it is possible.
