Okay, thanks for the advice. New battery and charger on order!

Battery is sealed so I don't think you can renew the acid. Quad is a Polaris Sportsman 350. A bit underpowered, but has done me well.

I think this may be the problem. The charger says it's for "normal" lead batteries, and from what I've been reading, the AGM batteries require a special charger. I've ordered one and we'll see what happens, but I suspect that trickle charging with the wrong charger has killed this battery...

Today my quad bike wouldn't start. Battery sounds flat - enough power to turn over but not enough to fire. Condition shows battery is empty but it will not charge using my cheap "intelligent" charger - charges for about 15 seconds then shows 'full" which it obviously isn't. Can I recover this...

To me, stropping without a compound is like polishing brass without metal polish - you'll get there eventually with just a cloth, but will get a better result more quickly with a dab of Flitz. Far from being snake oil, diamond compound (paste or spray) works well with abrasion resistant 'super...

Replied Now SPF

For sale is a part used bottle of Handamerican diamond stropping spray. I have used just a little from the bottle - there is enough left to last a lifetime (well, mine anyway :D) For some reason the spray nozzle is sticking. A replacement spray bottle will sort it. This is the best...

Glad to hear it arrived safely - thanks. Yep - high carbon steel takes a mean edge!
