battery problem on my cb125twin

[janner]

Hi all, not a GS i know but mine all the same, i have a 862 mile from new honda cb125 twin 1979, its as new and am re-commisioning it and want to take it for its first ever mot, i have a battery problem where, when i turn the ignition on or any load i.e lights etc the middle cell of the 6 volt battery starts fizzing , i have tried it off the bike by shorting it and does the same, and loosely wired the headlight bulb across the terminals and it done the same , so its not the ignition circuit making the problem its any load that makes it fizz, the battery is 3 months old only, would you say the battery is the fault or the bike ?? i,m asking here cos this is the place for answers, cheers guys, jon

The middle cells on my 12 v battery are the first to lose water. Aint it strange.

Fizzy battery under load = Bad battery

Take it back, it should have some sort of warranty
