ABS & Battery- Odessey

[DR Major]

I just put an Odyssey PC680 into my 1150 GSA (02). It replaced the original acid battery.

 

I am getting an ABS warning flash now that I didn't get before.

 

Charged the battery all night and still get the flshhing. Rode the bike for some time with several stops. Still Flashing.

 

The battery is reading 13.16 volts.

 

I added lights, Radar, GPS, and horn, but all are on a ignition switched Blue Seas fuse block, so there is no drain w/o the motor running.

 

Is there an issue with the Odyssey?

Does it have less draw power than the acid battery?

 

I have used the PC680 on my RT and LT with no problems.

 

SUGGESTIONS????

 

Thanks.

I just changed an Odessey after 4 1/2 years because I started to get ABS errors on startup (not enough juice). Before that, had no problems with the Odessey. I have heard sometimes they are defective, you might have to return it. Good luck!

Read this thread it may be of help. Good luck.

I put a charge on the original battery and put it back in.

 

ABS Lights are still flashing....??

 

I pulled the tank again to look for any obvious dis-connects. Can't see any.

 

So, I've now had two batteries in - Old w/ charge & New w/ charge. Same results. This leads me to think I disonnceted something while putting the tank back on or adding the wiring for the Autocom and Hella Lights.

 

Any thoughts on what could be doing this?
