Templar M keeps draining battery
Hey guys, my templar's battery died last week so I ordered another. I installed the new battery, bike started, ran great but than as soon as I killed the engine the battery was completely dead again, really annoying. I'm guessing its the rectifier, but when I attempt to kickstart it the dash lights up for a second which makes me think the rectifier is OK. Would really appreciate any help, thanks

Got a voltmeter?
I would start with testing the charging system. Here is a post on this https://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=34080

You should check what your charging voltage is at the battery. |

How long did you run the bike on the new battery? Is the battery a wet cell and is it properly filled with electrolyte and charged before starting? Once it is started the voltage check at the battery will no doubt tell you you have a charging problem or not, look for around 13.5+ v while running and check with some throttle too to make sure. My thoughts…
