Hello i recently changed the battery of my motorcycle to a Lithium One ( 1 month ago), i have been for 12 days without going for a ride , today i went to the bike and the battery was empty! Any suggestions what did happen? Tanks in advanced
 
Was it stored in a trickle charger? If so, was the trickle set for lithium type of battery? Can not use regular type battery trickle charger.

Sure you can. I just wouldn't leave it on there long term. Do you think your motorcycle's charging system knows if you have a Li battery or not?
 
You may have parasitic draw or your new battery is no good. I would charge the battery and perform draw test first.

Some motorcycle/car charging systems do damage lithium batteries. You'll find new lithium batteries with protecting circuitry and more charging systems with lithium consideration.
