Brand new battery...is it good?

[Guest]

Brand new Energizer for my 80gs1000e. Filled to spec, trickle charged. After sitting for 24 hours its settled to reading 12.6 on the meter. Is that OK? I thought it was supposed to be 12.8?

Yep

According to the chart I have, 12.6 is considered to be a fully charged battery.:-D

Excellent, thanks.

Now to put it in the bike and test the charging system. I should be seeing 13.5 - 14.0 at 4,000 rpms right? 8-[

Yep

It might take 5000 rpms to get that voltage but if you're in the 'ballpark', I think you're fine.:-D (If you didn't have charging problems before getting the new battery, you shouldn't have any problems now.)
