Don’t let simple mistakes kill your motorbike battery! In this video, I break down 5 common things riders do that seriously shorten battery life or even kills them — and how you can avoid it.
From not riding enough, to leaving your bike on a trickle charger (yep, that’s actually BAD despite the myths!), to accessories quietly draining power… these mistakes can leave you stranded and missing your next ride.
But don’t worry — I’ve also got the answer. There’s a really simple and easy way to keep your battery healthy, ready to go, and avoid that painful breakdown… it’s what I personally use on my bikes, and it’s a total game-changer.
✅ You’ll learn:
• Why trickle chargers could be hurting your battery
• Why you shouldn’t let the battery fully drain repeatedly
• The importance of cleaning battery terminals
• How hidden accessories (GPS, phone mounts, alarms) drain power
• And the easy solution I use to keep my bikes always ready
• Five mistakes to cover:
• Not keeping the battery on charge during periods of low use
