Sometimes…It’s the little things

[Vader]

After a few slow cranking or drag startings on the hd10, was wondering if the battery had done taken a dump. To add to it, a CHECK DPS warning came across and the unit was hard to turn. All of this after having it on a battery tender. Started checking and found that the battery cables were loose. A quick tightening up and it’s like a different machine. One that wants to start now! Sometimes it’s the little things.

definitely, i had the same thing happen on my x3.  was doing fine then all of sudden was sputtering and almost died.  reached behind me and wiggled the battery tender lead and it started doing it again.  tightened up and good to go since.
