Why is my battery not charging

Post by Farmer »

I thought the battery was dead, but after chrging it overnight it is reading 12.6V
I put it in the PCX and it started up straight away. I tested the voltage over the battery while it is running and it only read 10.2V.


Does that mean it is not charging?
Where can I start to look for ther problem?
