Miller says a new two-ton, R-410A system costs $3,500 to $4,500; whereas replacing just the exterior portion of a R-22 system with a dry charge costs around $2,500, plus the cost of the refrigerant. Miller says he currently charges $50 for the first pound and $30 for each additional pound of coolant.
3) Charge the battery for 4 to 24 hours (depending on the size of the battery, bigger batteries with a larger capacity, e.g. Y50-N18L-A2 or YB16Al-A2, will take much longer to charge than smaller batteries e.g. YB4L-B or YB2.5L-C) with a Motorcycle Battery Charger. 4) After charging, disconnect the battery from the charger and leave to settle for 1 hour. 5) Re check the battery acid level (make sure it is up to the upper level mark) and top up the acid levels if required.
Diagnosing low charging voltage. While you are ridding your motorcycle, the charging system provides electrical power to run electrical components and accessories. It also recharges the battery. Most of the electrical components will operate satisfactorily with a voltage between 12 and 15.8 volts DC. The battery is a little pickier about its charging voltage. Below 13.8 the battery will not fully charge. If the voltage is to high the battery will charge too quickly and may over charge. Either way high or low charging voltage can lead to battery problems. In order to get maximum battery life proper charging voltage must be maintained. Last month I talked about what to do if your battery is not staying charged. One of the tests was to check the charging voltage at the battery.
