    Guys

    What's the go with constant flat batteries? this time the battery is completly dead and will i need a new one. I've noticed earlier on the bike was sometimes struggling to start even when bike had been running and engine was still hot. (Dyna). I was going to replace with a genuine HD battery but are their better battery's to consider. Also noticed the orange primer light is taking a bit longer to go out this may explain the dying battery ?

    So you replaced the battery and it keeps dying too? Chances are it's your charging system - get your battery tested and find the fault in the charging system. If you haven't replaced the battery maybe you just need a new one. You can get it tested or just get one like most of us do when they wont charge up anymore. Get something with high CCAs (Cold cranking amps - it's written ion the battery) - around 450CCA is great, more is better. I think my battery is called Redline.

    best to get a auto elec to check the charging system no good guessing a sparky can jump start so any battery tio get it there ring the sparky first to make sure he can look at it not causing a wasted trip it could be anything best to get it sorted with out wasting money
