did you even ****ING read my post you piece of shit.

i watched my battery go from 14.4 volts to 13 volts at idle.

reread then go **** yourself

i am done i have proven my point to myself. you can sprout your BS somewhere else.

Nice meltdown. Yes, I read your post and yes I'm aware that after 30 minutes with the high beam on, your system voltage went from 14.4 volts to 13.9 volts. Did you think this was an indication the battery was being discharged? I hope not, because at 13.9 volts, current is still flowing into (charging) the battery. Do you know what the typical float voltage is for a battery tender? 13.2 to 13.5 volts. And under normal circumstances (high beam off) the battery gets the "full" 14.4V at idle, so even you, with your very limited understanding of batteries have no choice but to admit the battery is being charged.
 
How were you able to prove anything to yourself when you clearly don't have a sound understanding of the subject at hand?  I know you desperately want to be the sole beacon of technical wisdom on this forum, but some subjects are better left to other people. For you, battery charging is that subject.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Well SD it looks like you wasted all that time on a degree(per Bax).. I believe 14.4 V at idle would be a charging status if 13.5 is the maintained voltage.

my votes with sd2007. 

Damn, is it over? Its like round three and and only one fighter came out and the other stayed in his corner.

Tough to say... Maybe it's ¡No más! ¡No más! for baxom.  Or, he'll just come back and bite my ear off. 

This thread was full with info from both of you guys which can be shared by new riders whom wish to gather some technical knowledge.. thanks guys.
 
However I believe the battery will be charged up even when the engine is just idling; I had once where my battery was flat and couldn't start the bike. I had to jump start it and let the engine idle for nearly 5 minutes (never rev the throttle). After that and till now the bike starts perfectly.

Damn!!! Did anyone bring the popcorn?
