Help!!! Charging issue on DF250RTC

**RacerX125** · 08-22-2013, 04:44 AM

As title says, my df250rtc is not charging right so what I do is charge it with a battery charger and start it up and will start fine, but after shutting it down and starting it up again battery is dead even tough i've been riding it for 45 minutes! Anyone help me?
Battery is brand new bought it 4 months ago, so I am not sure what to suspect. However it does charge a little but not enough to restart the bike.
help would be appreciated, faster help would be nice as im starting high school next monday

You did not provide enough information for others to postulate a likely solution.
If as you say the battery is good, and can be charge by an external charger, I would consider it may be the exact opposite than what you are assuming.
There is enough current produced by your charging system to light your headlight and charge your ignition coil, right? Therefore there is enough current to maintain a charge on a healthy battery.

So just consider you likely have a parasitic drain rather than a anemic supply.

So after I took the battery for inspection it turned out to be a case of a bad battery, so after I replaced the battery and checked all wires bike started up fine without a hassle and restarted fine
So turns out you where right axa thank you

no biggy.
so how old was your battery/when did you get your bike or replace it last?
