Does the alarm system ruin battery of bike?

Jignesh

I purchased a new Hero Ignitor three months back. I also got installed an anti-theft alarm system on it. I went on a long tour and the bike was idle for *one month* at home. After coming back, I found that the battery of the bike looked drained. I drove the bike for 4 days, hoping the battery to be recharged- but no improvement at all. Might the battery have been failed?
I doubt did the alarm system drain the battery? I am not sure about the truth. Should I remove the alarm system now? I will appreciate any guidance on it. Thanks.

Answer
3rd vote for a trickle charger. If alarm installed correctly it would not run the battery down. Motorcycle and scooter batteries are delicate compared to automotive batteries. Trickle chargers are cheap and can prolong the life of the battery for a year longer or more.

still looking for my bike's battery?

i found a black panel and undid the screws and opened it up. oil spilled everywhere.... turns out i had just taken off the entire oil canister or whatever it's called. i cleaned it up kinda, added more oil, and looked some more, and now i'm back where i started. i still can't find this battery.

Answer
Most bikes have the battery under the seat. A Suzuki VS 800 has the battery under the frame just behind the motor. Some bikes have the battery between the motor and the rear wheel. Take your side covers off and you'll see where the battery is if it is between the motor and rear wheel. Hope this will help.
