Put in charge it dead no lights or computer hooked up my junojumper up to it that I got from pit bull started took it for drive got back shut it off dead the fan didn't even keep running. I don't know I hope I didn't fire something.

    Default Let's see....

    you need to get the same battery "Yuasa" and make sure you have good solid commections. These machines need the max your battery can give or you get nothing. Check the spec's.....

    You didn't say what kind of "trickle charger" you had but some types can cook an AGM battery.
    A battery maintainer such as Battery Tender or Genius Maintainer is a better choice.
