My bike wasn't starting the other day. It was cranking sluggish. It was getting fuel though, because I could smell it out the exhaust. Figured it just wasn't cranking strong enough. Tried pop starting it and it still wouldn't go. Even tried jump starting it. I got a new battery a couple months...

Well, between each battery would only be 4" of insulated wire. With that short of a run, it should be able to handle quite a bit of power, right? There would be five banks of six batteries connected like this. In each bank, there would be six batteries connected in parallel like this "daisy...
