If the bike is still covered under a BMW warranty with roadside assistance (or other organisation), get them to come out to start the bike and check the battery voltage at the same time. This will help to determine the state of the battery and if serviceable, the choice of battery charger going forward.hammo wrote:It's that time of year a bit cold and guess what battery does not want to play.
I charge mine in place via a socket wired direct to the battery.I don't have electricity in my garage so use an Optimate DC-DC run from a leisure battery and it works a treat.No effect on the bikes electronics what so ever.hammo wrote: Its that time of year a bit cold and guess what battery does not want to play , not being up with modern technology can you use any battery charger on your motorcycle ? , also can i charge it in place on my 2019 RTLE ? or because of all the bells and electrickery these days does it have to be removed from the bike .
