Took it home, Charged the new battery and it didn't seems to register right on the charger meter. . .Left it all all night. . the guy was right. . didn't hold a charge. . I checked the specific gravity and got a drop on my finger, and it looked too clear and didn't sting. . I tasted it and no taste. . . Apparently the guy bought the battery mail order and it came dry. . and he filled it with. . . Wait. . Here goes. . water. . . drained it out, added acid and had a good running bike with a new battery. . Attached image(s)
