Help

So i went to crank my bike for nice December ride. Got nothing. Figured I'd just jump it. Got it turned over but it wouldn't run for more than a minute off the cables. So I put it back on the cables and let it run for about 20min. I know I know when at idle the bike isnt producing enough power to recharge the battery. Anyways after 20min I pulled the cables and again it died after a min. At this point i started doing research on good smart chargers and end up running to Walmart to get a Battery Tender Junior. Based on reviews this was a good choice. Got home plugged it into the SAE connectors and the dash red blinking light comes on but looks to struggle. The interesting bit is that now I have an audible beeping sound coming from under the tank. It sounds like a series of beeps. Now my first though is that maybe the junior sized 750ma tender is not enough and I really need the 1.25amp tender. My second though is that my battery is just flat out dead and the tender size is not the problem.

Any advice would be helpful.

Your battery is most likely toast!

Shorai battery and your all set.

As above battery is stuffed

What they said....new battery and you'll be happy again, but keep it on a tender when not in use on a fairly regular basis.

Lead acid or lithium pack?

This and shop around

I replaced the lead acid battery after one year , because I knew that between the vibration and the engine heat, the battery would let me down.I installed a Shorai and I've had no problems. It weighs a lot less,and the discharge rate when not in use is very low. No need for a battery tender.

Same here, I always buy SHORAI! Even when I first got my 1199, I HATE using Battery tender because You have to keep it plugged in every day! Or it will Not keep your battery 100% charge every day. SHORAI battery will keep it charged for 3 to 4 months without riding your bike. I've done it.
Love SHORAI!

Lol you don’t need to have a battery tender in everyday, lead acid bricks do hold charge for quiet awhile.

I will never buy a shorai again, there .... many others have had problems including catching fire.

Got a Shorai in my Tuono, Panigale and KTM 300 XCW.

The KTM 300 sat neglected for 3 years without being charged. It doesn't have a parasite drain like my Tuono or Panigale. I was very surprised when it fired the bike up on the second press of the starter.

I've herd and experienced stock oem batteries are quite weak. Any new battery will be an upgrade. If you want to go lithium have at it, but either way it needs a non stock battery.

I've had my 1199 since April 2013. Have yet to replace the battery. I rotate through bikes on a weekly basis n there have been times when the 1199 wasn't started in well over a month. Never had one issue with it yet. It has been a great oem battery for over 4 1/2 years with never having been connected to a tender before. In fact, I'm hoping it does start having problems so I can have a reason to get rid of it but a Shorai battery won't be the replacement.

The stock battery is a yuasa its top of the line acid brick. Same as above mine mainly sits in the shed too.

I've had my 1199r since August 2014, still has original battery from new, when not been ridden it's always on a c tech battery charger.
