[Shop-talk] Auto Batteries

[Peter Murray]

Inch-

Make sure your battery isn't just out of water. I have a 2007 Yamaha TW200,
and was having starting problems with the original battery - and discovered
that the battery was dry. I added distilled water up to the line and let it
soak in a bit, then put it back on my Battery Minder desulphating charger,
and it has come back to full strength (tested with a load tester).
