HELP !!!

I got home last night after 17 hours in the saddle and 625 miles. I rode straight from Myrtle Beach home instead of stopping for the night 1/2 way like I did last time. The way I have the bike sety up, it was so comfortable that it didn't bother me at all. It was AWESOME !!!

Anyway ...

I got home last night at about 3:30 AM, so I just put the scoot in the garage, took a shower, said my "hello's" to my ladyfriend ( ) and went to bed. This morning ( now ) I go out to move the Ram so that I could wash my bike after having it rained on for a week and the Ram is dead.

Zip - Zilch - Nothing ...

I guess I'm going to need batteries, and I'm gonna need them right now. What kind do you guy's reccomend ? Shoud I get those new fangled sealed type batteries that look like a 6 pack? I don't know squat about batteries so whatever you've got pass it on.

OK, I'm going out back right now to hook up the charger. Hopefully I can get the truck fired up and off to get the batteries. Lemme know what kind I should get.


Is it just me, or does this kinda crapalsohappen to you guy'safter you come home from a relaxing vacation?

 

mayfair being that i live 20 minutes from you i might be able to get you a deal on two optima red tops i need to know your cold cranking amps

 

OK, charger is hooked up.

Thanks for the offer 59 !! How do I find out my cold cranking amps? Is it written on my old batteries?

 

yes it is... these optimas mite need to be charged too... but after that theyre good.

 

Td. either of the red tops are fine . stock set up is 750 cca's.

 

ooOOOoo

 

OK, I'm gonna look right now BRB ...

 

aiight

 

OK, it says 770 CCA @ 0 degrees and 950 CA @ 32 degrees

I currently have 2 batteries from Sams Club club called XLT model DT34. They were made in March of 2004.

Can you get / do you have what I need?

 

Sounds like you've got thehook-up with the Optima batteries, but I'll throw in my $0.02 ... I would shop warranty vs. price ... generally Interstate brand comes in #1, with Die Hard a close second...

Sounds like you had a good time on your trip... I hear you about the long stints in the saddle... for the 2007 Sturgis rally I rode from Seattle to Billings, MT without stopping. Once stopped I was ready for a frosty beverage and a hot-tub. It was like 814 miles. yikes.
