A good motorcycle battery will measure 12.6 V. If it gets under about
12.3 it starts to sulfate. That's what kills batteries. So to
prolong the life of a battery keep it on a maintainer/tender that
also desulphates a battery.

Hello all,
I think the battery on my 83 650 is giving out on me. Like an idiot I
let it dry up this winter. Slowly brought it back to life with
charging and distilled water and it has been doing the job. However,
I think letting it dry up is finally cathing up. I was just wondering
what the average life span for a battery is on these bikes? I am sure
many people have very diffrent experiences, but I imagine there is a
certain amount of consistency. I bought this current battery in the
fall of 2008. I purchased it from the Honda dealer (Yusa? Can never
remember the proper name). With the weak charging system on these
motorcycles I am curious if it wears out a battery faster than most
bikes.
Thanks!
