Could Anyone Please Help Me..concerning Low Bat

im using the stock battery for almost 2 years..
i first experience low bat when i started to use HID whenever i get on higher RPM after seconds the HID will blink then turns off..thats why i decided to sell my HID for that reason..after i buy a new bulb for my headlight..im still experiencing low bat..for example im using BRT racing cdi hyperband but when i rev hard im experiencing limiter, one more thing when im using my break and the break light is turning on the light on the speedo goes weaker..and also the headlight..what could be the problem?..and i cant even use the e starter

please help me..

here's my spec..
racing cam w/o decom ass
valve spring
RCDI
stroker pin

**tnx in advance ..

use a tester and check the charging in your battery if charging hit bellow 11v even if the mc engine is running check your charging system eg... stator, rectifier, wirings

what kind of tester sir?..
im not using HID now..what can be the problem?

Use digital multimeter bro or digital voltmeter .Our MC once HID is installed will be converted to battery operated headlight. Have you reverted back your headlight to stator driven? Your stock headlight should be stator driven to avoid low bat. When using HID it should be batterry operated and charging converted to fast charging or use fast charging rectifier. Check your battery bro, battery performance will deteroirate or damage once drained.:);)

Battery Wear and TearThe manner and periods of recharging and discharging directly affect the battery life span. Every time a battery discharges, there is a loss of metal from the plates, which is just the way it is. If, however, there is any irregularity in this process, the life span decreases adversely. For example, if the regulator used for charging is faulty, if the battery is overcharged, if the discharging period (period of use) is extended beyond the maximum period, you will increase the wear and tear of your battery. If you keep on discharging the battery for too long, there is a reaction called 'Sulphation' that happens inside the battery, that permanently damages it.

now i know bro..a bunch of thank you..

you said... ur using your battery for almost 2 years?

IMHO and based on my experience, battery have a certain life span... there will come a time that no matter how we charge it it will not be fully charged and will easily get low batt... somehow like aging...

with proper maintenance of our battery, it will prolong its lifespan but still time will come it will need to be replaced...

do you think bro.. i really need to replace my battery?

but before u replace it try to test it using volt meter while charging to see if its charging...

aged battery doesnt charge... lets take for example depleted cellphone battery... even you charge it for long hours and you see its battery ful (Asindicated on the cp LCD)l it easily drain,

some depleted battery doesnt charge, and you can see it using volt meter.. those are the few signs that you need to replace your battery

tnx. bro.ill try to find a voltmeter to test if its still charging..

There are several cases that I encountered when an old battery for almost 2 years or more, even if it's working and the voltage is stable to 12.5 or higher. There is a greater possibility that it will break in a few hours after installing HID because as we all knew that HID requires great amount of amperes and voltage. The battery cells are already brittle, but, after replacing your battery with good one and you've still experiencing discharged that's another story.
