Was it cold out? I only ask because I believe cold weather tends to drain battieries...

check the two small fuses by the battery...also all the conections. try applying a small 2 amp charge to teh battery for 30 mins. then check ocv....if its above 11 volts...charge for 2 more hours. if you have a multimeter and can post some readings it would help out a bunch.

well, i found out what was wrong with my battery. I went to go do what 400ex127 said and when i took the rubber flap thing off i discovered that there is a 1/2 in. x 1/2 in. hole blown out of the side of the battery. I don't know how it happened. Does anyone know if a defective battery is covered by the warranty? Has anyone else ever had this problem?
