Changed Battery now no power
Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2015 10:30 am
Changed my battery in my 93 FZR600 last night to a cheap PepBoys battery. After i filled the battery with the acid and let it vent for 15min i connected the battery. While rushing in a dimly lit garage i connected the battery terminals backwards and it sat that way for about 3 minutes before i caught my mistake and switched the terminals to there correct places. There was no charge in the battery at this time. Once i had the battery connected correctly, i connected my battery charger and let it sit. After about a hour i tried turning the key to see what kind of life a hour had given the new battery and nothing. No lights, no dash, nothing. I figured that the batter is on a trickle charger and it just needs time. I let it charge over night and tried it this morning and again nothing. I checked all the fuses and from what i can see non are blown.
Would it be possible to damage the electronics with new uncharged battery connected backwards? if so, if the fuses are good, where would be the next place to start troubleshooting? I have already sourced what i think would need to be replaced but before i pull the trigger on parts i wanted to ask the forum for some ideas.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
