Battery not charging
« on: July 23, 2020, 07:49:04 pm »
Hi guys

So yesterday I rode for about 100 miles and everything was working fine.
I have a battery tracker that tells me how is the battery through an app, during those 100 miles the battery was charging and at 100%

Today I rode for maybe 10 minutes, and the app notified me the battery was not charging.
I took the gas tank off and started looking for a loose wire or something.
As I was moving the cables the battery started charging again but stop and go went I wiggles the cables.

My question is, would it be a faulty connection or cable  from a ground cable or a power cable that would cause this?

How does your phone connect to the bike? Any chance that is faulty?

So I found the issue.

I noticed there were four hot wires connected with 1 connector and four ground wires connected the same way. The connectors used wasnt gripping strong so the wires were loose.

I replaced these connectors with Solder seal connectors (they are superb to any other types) and once i started the motorcycle, the battery was charging as before.
