[QUOTE="A Nut, post: 151546, member: 2005"] I no longer use the type that Burlen supply. I have also had them suddenly go open circuit. If you dig around the terminals they fail just near here. I now use AGM (Absorbed Glass Matt batteries) If using an old proper hard rubber case you will need to shave it inside with a sharp wood chisel. I use one 12volt battery on the Shadow and my Triumph Thunderbird and two 6volt batteries connected in parallel on the "A" Comet. As regards charging I use a Motobatt trickle charger which can be switched to 6 or 12 volt. For any 12 volt batteries I use an Optimate but this can't be used on 6 volt batteries. Last autumn I took all the bike batteries and the caravan battery off and put them in the garage and gave them a charge about once a month. Both chargers will turn off when the batteries are fully charged. Brian [/QUOTE]
