It's been a loooong time....

[briandrum]

Hey everyone!  It's been a long time since I've been here.  Hope all of you have been well.  So it's been getting nice here in the NE, and I've tried to get my Super 8 started  and I have been able to, but not without jumping it.  I've tried to charge the battery, but to no avail.  I'm in a tough spot in terms of needing a new battery, and was wondering if anyone knows if you can by a battery for a Super 8 anywhere other than online?  Any help would be mucho appreciated!  Thanks and WELCOME BACK WARM WEATHER!!!!

Not to challenge your maintenance skill, but how did you attempt charge? If not at a low-low current (rate) you might want to give that a try. Takes a while but will sometimes get poor performers back in line. After this reinstallation and running for a few days in scoot should finalize providing slow charge was successful.

I didn't try at a low rate....I'll give it a shot.  To be honest though, at this point, rather than trying to get it to work, I think i'd rather spend the $50 and get myself and battery and be off and running.  I know, it's the easy way out, but who doesn't like things to be easy?!

In the NE we really need a battery tender. I attached a set up clip to my battery posts and fed the plug through the floor so I can plug in to the tender especially over winter. The battery won't last long if you don't drive it.

You can get a battery at walmart , you need to take the old battery in or pay core charge . The new battery has to be charged also . Good luck .
