I helped my mate to fix up his bike, he hasn't ridden it for at least a year.

My mate bought a new battery, and I left him to put the electrolyte into it.

We cleaned the bike, and after charging it for a while, replaced the battery.

For some reason, there was just no cranking power. I figured the battery hadn't been charged long enough, so we put it back on charge, and left it for a while, and tried again.

Even after hours of charging, there was still no power to even try to turn the bike over.

We gave up, and put the battery on charge overnight, and left it.
