I had my predator 4 about a month now and was just wondering how long the battery holds a charge. Today i went 2 start it up at a buddy's house and it wouldn't start. So i pop started it and ran fine. Turned it off then the battery was charged. I told my dad and he said it could be the altinator.(can't spell). Any feedback would be great thanks.

 

omg why do all dads always tell uus its the alternator!!! my dad said the same thing wit my warrior !! but nope it wasn't it turned out to be the battery and i destroyed my one way gear

 

Don't think you have an alternator on the predator, and if you did, that wouldn't be what was bad or the battery wouldn't of charged. If it's going to be sitting for a while, you should disconnect the battery to keep it from draining.

 

Your battery wires are bent in too tight of a curve.........all the charging electrons are getting flung off the wire as the try to make the corner and thus don't make it to the battery.

A more gentle bend radius of the wires should help your charging situation.

 

What Heapster said and get a trickle charger and charge it at two amps every couple of weeks for 3 hrs. no more problems.

 

ROFLMAO!!!!

 

NEVERMIND GUYS found the problem. I never tightened the negative battery cable. DUH!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks 4 the advise guys.
