    Winterizing the Scrambler (Battery Type)

    Hello, I've got the Scrambler Urban Motard 2023. This is my first bike and will be my first winter with it (temp here reaches ~30-40 degrees celsius). I understand the battery can die over the course of the winter but it's not clear to me what kind of battery I have to know what kind of...

    The Best Inexpensive Battery - 1199 S

    Howdy fellow Duc owners (and online warriors I suspect), I'm looking for an inexpensive (sub-$75) battery for a 2013 1199 Panigale S. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you guys have. From a quick look online the stock photos and/or dimensions all seem to differ on aftermarket options...

    Correct battery tender for 1098 S?

    What's a good battery tender for a 1098 S (2011). That won't cost 100 bucks... saw some on amazon for 80+ but wasn't sure if there were better alternates.

    Ducati Battery or Electric Problems

    I haven't used the forum much, but I am running into an issue and don't know where else to go. I have a '15 899 with 10k miles. About a month ago I went to crank it up one morning and it wouldn't turn over. I had rode it the day before and it came up with no issues. This day it would click and...

    V4R Dead Battery

    Hey V4R owners, after owning the bike for about 2 months or so my OEM battery is completely dead! I was wondering if other V4R owner's have experienced this issue? I am waiting (FOREVER) on track bodywork so I have literally 4 miles on the bike. So before I get silly responses, I have 18...

    Lithium battery charger

    Hi Can I use any lithium charger(like Optimate)? I looked at the skyrich that Ducati recommends, but find it really expensive compared to others. I'm totally new to this lithium battery technology. I don't want to buy the wrong thing. Thanks

    Melted battery bracket 1199

    Just curious if anyone else has seen this problem on their Panigales. This is a 2012 1199. I've noticed one small black spot under my bike after riding it for long periods of time, it was too dark and thick to be oil. I finally got some time to take it apart and it looks like the rear of the...

    Intermittent Battery Light

    Recently the battery light on my 1993 900 Superlight has been coming on intermittently while riding. It will stay on for maybe 15 minutes; then go off & not come on again for an hour. Admittedly, diagnosing electrical issues is not my strong suit. So I proceeded to cleaning the battery...

    Battery Tender Jr. 800 for Lithium?

    I'm hopefully going to be picking up my new V4S soon, and plan on connecting a battery tender, since it will be sitting for a while, and just to keep battery from draining down.

    Antigravity Lithium Battery Problem

    Battery died, so I figured I'd go ahead and make the upgrade to lithium. Installed the Antigravity AT7B-BS RE-START battery, and the bike doesn't seem to like it at all. Took it for a ride, and the battery light came on, check engine light and gas light started flashing. Bike would start to idle...
