Brand new Battery discharged

The original 10series battery in my bike discharged for no apparent reason. I dont ever recall leaving the lights on for more than 5-10 minutes at a time. So I bought a less expensive 9series battery and within a month and a half it died as well. What could the problem be? Again I know I didnt leave my lights on. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    My battery has died 3 times in the past 3 months. Yesteday morning the bike started up fine, I pulled out of the garage into the driveway and turned it off to suit up in my riding gear. I came out to start up and it was dead again. Weird thing was everything was illuminated on the panel- all the indicators. It just wouldn't start up. I put the battery on the trickle charger but this time after 24 hours it's still in the red. The battery- YTZ10S is less than 2 years old. Do I just replace the battery or look deeper? Could it be the regulator? The ignition seems to be ok. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

To my knowledge, the only component capable of discharging a battery over your described period of time would be a partial short, not a full short. A full short would cause heating/burning of the wires and the battery wouold go flat in a very short period of time.

Having said the above, the only components that would be the likely culprits would be:

  • regulator (most likely);
  • ignition switch (likely);
  • fusebox (least likely).
The regulator could be suffering from shorted diode(s) and/or regulator transistor while the IGN switch and/or the fuse box could have rusted/corroded terminals, connectors or internal pins.

If the above solution has merit, pls click on my "Ask Me" to explore additional options, postback how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

I just replaced my alternator and a brand new battery and my car is still going dead what could that B is it 2004 Ford Freestar
Make sure alternator is charging. If remove all relays and check how high is battery draw. It shouldn't be significant and shouldn't discharge battery overnight. If you have a draw then car computer or transmission control module or alarm may cause that. If you dont have draw. Start reinstalling relays one by one and check for the draw. Faulty stereo may be a reason for draw too.

You need to check the charging current and also the discharging of the battery in the IDLE mode.
Please check this link for some tips.

Use a multimeter to check the charging current and also discharging rate when the engine is switched off.

The alternator and accessories must be checked.

Bike will not start or stay running on a full charge battery/bought brand new battery, still same promblem,jump bike off,will crank ,ride bike for 30 min. park bike, leave bike running,lights start's to...
sounds like the problem is your battery is not charging when you are riding. The most common cause is a faulty regulator / rectifier. Contact a motorcycle wreckers for these parts, or your yamaha dealer.
Easy way to test is, when your bike is running, and the lights start to dim, before the bike shuts down, using a volt meter, test the voltage at the battery terminals, should be about 14V. If faulty rectifier,no charge going in to your battery, then the reading will be low, about only a few volts. If you dont have a volt meter, then any mechanic shop can do this test for you. best to have this done before buying any parts.

Car wont start but the lights, radio and everything battery operated comes on but it just makes a click noise when trying to start engine
If you can hear a click (quite loud) from the engine compartment, but the starter won't crank, this also could be caused by discharged battery. Battery problems - Discharged or dead battery is one of the possible reasons for a car not to start. Very common is the situation when we forget to turn the lights off overnight (the dome light, for example), which causes the battery to drain. In this case when attempting to start a car, all you will probably hear will be a clicking noise - there won't be enough power to turn the starter. Here is the simple way to check if the battery is discharged: Turn the ignition on. With the engine off, turn the windshield wipers on. If they move way too slow, much slower than usual, the battery is probably discharged. Also look at the dashboard lights - if they appear very dim, the battery is probably discharged.
If the battery is relatively new, it can be recharged. All you need to do is to boost your car and let the engine run for a while to charge the battery.

However if your battery is more than three-four years old, you will probably need to buy a new one. Sometimes, an old battery may even die with no apparent reason, even if the day before it was OK.

If the battery is OK, the starter solenoid, starter cables or the starter motor itself could be a problem.

Check it and tell us news.

My 2006 BMW G650 has a brand new battery that died after 3 weeks
Sounds like you need to check your charging system.Battery when engine running alittle over idle should charge at 14.5 volts. If it does not check the output of your stator by testing lead at the regulator rectifier... It may be you have a bad regulator rectifier...

Brand new Battery discharged
Are you sure the charger is actually charging the battery? Get a volt-meter and let the bike run while you put the two contacts on the meter to the battery terminals. It should display at-least above 12.8 volts, preferably above 13. If not, it's not charging and will need to be repaired or replaced.

Also, if you have an alarm fitted, aftermarket, it could be draining the battery. Hope that helps!

Toshiba 740E handheld PC problems with hard reset & battery
It's best kept in its charger whenever possible. One of the issues with it is that the buttons tend to get "hit" and it wakes up and discharges quickly. Even on a full charge, it can drain the battery in just a few hours. The issue is worsened by the supplied case. People have noted that using another case or even gluing felt pads in just the right spots of the holder helps immensely.
