Motorcycle Power

*AGAIN* I left the key on, along with the headlight. Drained the battery down to nothing, nada, zero, zilch. This is not good, this is the third time in just two months. Charged it back, the battery seems to be alive! AGM techology seems to be much better than old school flooded batteries.

To connect the battery I have to disassemble parts. No more. I connected a 12 vold power plug, AKA a cigar lighter socket, direct to the battery. I wanted it anyhow so I could recharge things while riding, either 12vdc, or using 120vac with an inverter:

Inverter, drop into the saddlebag, power plug out under the lid, forward to the bike next to the battery cover.

Since I can now just connect the plug, I will probably not forget it and not need it.
