Message: <blockquote data-quote="zman" data-source="post: 125185" data-attributes="member: 2904">Maybe someone can tell me if this sounds good/normal. The bike has no problems charging or starting. Bought the battery second hand from a GL enthusiast that bought it new, ran a year and he started adding lights and accessories and thought he should upgrade the battery...I purchased his 1 year old AGM type and it sat about a year till I finished my project with an occasional 2amp charge but no tender.What concerns me is I have had to top it off 2 times in the last year, each time it was about 1/2 inch below the fill line..OK..Not sure if this is normal...there are caps on the cell for that reason but dont recall other bikes needing it that often.Just for wonder I went out after it has sat a week and checked the battery volts..It measured 12.31 then without starting the bike I put the key in  ignition on (kill switch engaged)it dropped slowly to 11.60 took about 15 seconds and stabilized.I do not own a load tester so is there any comparison I can use or any poor mans load test method you know of?Probably just being paranoid but I want to keep up my battery/charging system up to snuff.Thanks.</blockquote>
