This weekend I was out with a friend doing a quick 4 hour ride. About half way through we pulled over for break. During the ride I had the following going on:
1) Hand warmers on up until 10 minutes before stop.
2) Smartphone plugged in through USB power supply and playing tunes.
3) Bright lights on.
When we stopped I left my phone charged in and playing some music through my helmet and the brights on. Not thinking we would be there too long I did not turn the ignition over to off.
The question: During a 10-15 minute stop - is that enough to cause my battery to not have enough charge to turn over the engine? The instrument panel and everything lit up as usual, but when you hit the starter it would buzz and then reset itself.
Luckly - this guy was so easy to push start. Thoughts? Is it ok for a longer ride this weekend down to Georgia (8 hour trip).
