The Battery Always Picks The Worst Day

Bike batteries have a sense of timing. They sit quietly through weeks of bad weather, then choose the first decent ride to make a weak little clicking noise and ruin everyoneâ?Ts morning.

If the bike has been parked for a while, check the battery before the day matters. Charge it properly, look at the terminals, and be honest if it is getting old. Cold weather exposes a tired battery quickly, but neglect finishes it off.

A battery maintainer is not exciting, but neither is explaining to the group chat that you are late because the bike has decided electricity is optional.
