Re: battery
Looks like my battery is throwing in the towel, too. Almost 6 years, 32,000 miles, permanently connected to Oxford 3X optimiser over winter.
Went for a ride 3 days ago and noticed that optimiser's "maintaining" was flashing whereas it should be on solid. Bike started ok, maybe turned over a bit slower but no problems during 30 mile run. On return, the maintaining light flashed for an hour then went solid (it would normally go through this stage in a couple of minutes) and optimiser declared battery was "strong". Still ok yesterday but today flashing again (we had a colder night). I've just ordered a new battery.

Re: battery
2019 AL9 my battery dead when i went to start it last week, no alarm/tracker or anything. put it on charge, 2 days later still flashing red, didnt have a multimeter so read somewhere on another forum to give it a jump from the car for a few mins.. the battery was boiling within a few minutes and the charger thinks the battery is a 6v battery and its going into maintenance mode. the multimeter has arrived now and its showing 9.2v.. rip that battery, awaiting a new battery now.. hurry up
