Had to bust out the NOS wingnut. Noticed the front cover was jiggly and the wingnut has exited stage left.

Good thing I have one last NOS wingnut before busting into the repro packs we made :p

New battery again for the Senator. These stupid little decals don’t peel properly.

Removed it from the top and put it on the back after gouging some numbers for future reference :rolleyes:

At least it’s cleaner from the top this way.

I've learnt to disconnect batteries when not using cars.

After charging the Subaru overnight I moved the Ctek to a different car and will do all the batteries we have sitting around here.

We have 3 chargers. I am just really bad at remembering to put it on charge. I always intend to go back and do it after an event. Or I think I don’t need to because I will drive it again soon. But that’s not what happens. We do have 2 jump packs and one of those lives in the Senator permanently as I am a known risk.

But also I am sure the battery I just took out is not the one I bought for the Senator last time. So I think it was raided for something and I have some random one chucked in.

I want to stick the bike on charge but not sure if the charger is too powerful for such a small battery? I have heard of bike battery chargers but again not sure if they are really needed?
