Default Oi Alanis !!! (Flat Battery)

You want to know about Ironic, cos after all NOTHING in your song was........ they even gave you an entry in the Urban Dictionary

No, true irony is when the gadget you wired into your bike to stop you from getting a flat battery causes you to get a flat battery....

The £5 "Battery Saver" I got from Maplins, probably comes as a wire inline thing for a reason. That reason being that it uses a little bit of power - my guess being somewhere in the 0.05A range, due to having a 10 Amp-hour battery and the bike having been left for 4.5 days.

This is still speculation, but as the only mods I have added aremy new horns, and the 12V socket, my money is on the Battery Saver.

Will try and confirm this later with a 12V supply and an meter......

Now, if you use your bike EVRYDAY, then why oh why would you need adevice to keep your battery topped up. the bike has one already, called a Dyno/alternator

Sorry Dave, but I agree.

It's coz David has Batman fantasies, and therefore has every gadget known to man powered off his battery innit...
