How many volts should my bike battery have?
Open circuit voltage for a fully, 100% charged AGM battery is 12.8 to 13.0 Volts. AGM batteries that are 75% to 100% charged will measure 12.5 to 12.8 volts. Conventional batteries have slightly lower open circuit Voltages: 12.6 volts (12.8 volts with Sulfate Stop) for 100% charge and 12.4 for 75% charge.
What should I do if my motorcycle battery wont start?
If you don’t see these symptoms or are otherwise unsure what to look for, the first step is ensuring that the battery is operational and providing the maximum voltage. To confirm your battery is still good, you should visually inspect it, check the voltage, and load test the battery. A visual battery inspection should involve:
