I put my battery on charge because i thought it was flat.Almost instantly it showed as fully charged.I put it back in the bike but it didnt start.As soon as i jumped it off my car it started.I let it run for a while & tried to restart it but all i got was a series of clicks.Is my battery dead or is it something else.Thanks.MY bike is an sv 650s.It has an alarm fitted before i got it.Could this drain the battery.
Hi and welcome to FixYa,
The description "...series of clicks..." is significant. The battery is not putting out enough current to turn the starter motor. The best way to determine the battery condition is to have it load tested. However, considering eveything else, it would almost always be a failed or about to fail battery.
Incidentally, the alarm has been designed to have minimal current drain when in standby.
Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.
