    Anybody have a battery charger/tender/trickle in Toronto?

    long story short, my battery is like not charged enough or something so I need to charge it I think since I can't start my bike. Anybody locally in Toronto have one that I can bring my battery too?

    here is the vid of my bike not starting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk3CUaOQ_NQ

    Prefer locally in the east end near Leslie & Lakeshore and or Broadview & Danforth but as long as your place is ttc accessible I can bring the battery to you!

    let me know via pm as I do not have internet till next week and login once every 24 hrs at a friends house.

    thx in advance

    Just bump start it and then go to CT buy a cheap charger. Or take the battery out, go to CT have them load test/charge it and buy charger at the same time ... If the battery is toast, you will need to go to closest motorcycle shop or Honda dealer to get a new one with the same specs ...

    why not just spend $37 and buy a Battery Tender? Then you likely won't have this issue again.

    battery chargers of this sort aren't typically borrowed, they are purchased.

    It's like borrowing brake pads, or borrowing a light bulb.


    Shop around - you don't need the best one.

    This one goes on sale for $5.99 regularly.

    I've seen 12 volt low current tenders for $10 locally. (princess auto perhaps)

    thx for the useful replies guys and the ones who pm'd me.

    The thing is I do have a charger, I just left it at hamilton and it will cost me like $20~ to and from there just to get a charger so its not worth it y'know?

    I don't wanna borrow your chargers, I was gonna let you charge my battery and pick it up later!

    anyways once again thx guys for the useful replies, this forum is the best!

    If you go that route, DON'T start the car when you do it. The power from the battery/alternator may be too much for the bike.
