Hi Guys. I've owned a GT125 for just under a year and I love it. The only trouble is that i've not been riding it too much lately and when i've gone to start it this morning the battery is virtually dead and it wont start - everything lights up but it just wont start. Is there a Battery Tender or another product that I can buy from Halfords/Maplins or a specialised Bike Dealer that will help me stop having this problem in Future? Ive seen www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ITAG=FAQ&ModuleNo=33070&doy=5m10#faq and i'm wondering if anyone could tell me if that would do the trick? also, what voltage is the battery from a GT125? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide

Hello cy, welcome. If I put my scoot into hibernation, usually in those months when there are 2 inches of salt on the roads, (so sue me). I hook my battery up to an OPTIMATE charger which is designed to give the battery a trickle charge when it needs it and keeps it in good condition. It will also do a diagnostic check on your battery to see if it is still usable and you can leave it connected for as long as you like. You should be able to pick one up for 30 odd quid. I've added a link below. Rob www.ciao.co.uk/Optimate_Battery_Charger__5331749
