Hi, a week ago I have to push the bike every day to run. I have it since June 2011. I think there is little time for the original battery dies. How long have you been with the original battery. Or when change it? Thanks

Depending on conditions, batteries don't last long, a year or two usually if not maintained.

Best thing you can do is get a battery tender for down time. Your local shop, cycle gear, or batteries plus should be able to test it for you. I mention batteries plus because if you're just looking for a cheap replacement, they'll be less expensive than a dealer

The OP is in Spain, don't know if they have a batteries plus there. If the bike is not used daily, exposed to drastic conditions hot(az summers kill batteries) or cold, or had any episodes of full discharge it will cut the life short. 3 years is about a minimum normal life for a motorcycle battery from my research. Is the battery charging fully? Did you do any electrical modifications that may be pulling extra power?

Go to your local motorcycle store and ask for a battery charger, most modern chargers come with an optimisation feature, which maintains and repairs your battery. Depending on how old and how bad the condition of your battery is, you may be better off buying a new one. A well maintained battery will last up to 3 years and a badly maintained battery just 1 winter.

Vaya a su tienda local de la motocicleta y pedir un cargador de baterías, cargadores más modernos vienen con una función de optimización, que mantiene y repara la batería. Dependiendo de la edad y la gravedad de la condición de la batería es, puede ser mejor comprar una nueva. Una batería bien cuidada durará hasta 3 años y una batería mal maitained sólo 1 invierno.
