 click click
I guess me and Indiana Ken's 2012 RTs are talking to one another.  I went to start the bike yesterday and it just clicked. Turned off the ignition the gauges went crazy and lights blinked and tried again and click. I hooked up jump box and still same thing. I hooked up battery charger and let it charged for about 45 mins. on 2 amp and still click. Is it time for a new battery or what? I at least thought it would start if i tried to jump it off but it did not. I took battery to a local auto store and it read 10.5 volts at least that's what the tech told me. And she also said it could have a dead cell. I's a 2012 RT Limited SE5, got 9500 miles on it and keep it on a battery tender when i'm not riding.

Interesting. ...
10.5 will not due...jump starting should have worked unless the battery is blocking the the flow. Connections can also cause problems but if the charge did not help and if they load tested the battery I will go with get the recommended battery and get back out there....

That's why i love this forum. Thank you guys for the info. I just came from O'Reilly's today and they would have to order me one. I am going to make sure the part# is ETX 18L. I didn't go ahead an order it today, since i had it charging on 2 amp last night and thought i would give it another try, but to no avail. Off to O'Reilly's i go.
