Default 2015 Slim 6.20 volts after 2 weeks?

She sat for a few weeks, i rode her today.. Started normally, then I stopped at a brothers place for an hour and she would not start, all the indicator lights just blinked on and off randomly. I coasted home, luckily it was 90% downhill.

Battery reads 6.20v.. It was on a tender for a few weeks...


WTF?

Anyone?

Loose battery connections or ground connection.

This is the most common cause of this issue.

It wouldn't have started at all this morning if the battery was that low, and if it's dropping that fast now, something is draining it. Something is on, or you've got a short somewhere, I'd guess.

Then the battery was fine this morning.

Have you checked both battery connections?

Take the battery back to your dealer. They should have a really good battery tester that will spit out a report and tell you if the battery needs warranted or not.
