Ugh, left my ignition switch on all night. . . dead battery this morning

Got any questions about the BMW's R1200RT/R1250RT's onboard audio, Bluetooth or the Electrical system?

Broke-dick move I know . . .  :-[


2014 R1200RT
Battery replaced with stock OEM BMW battery 6 months ago.  Turned ignition to off and immediately plugged my OptiMATE IV smart charger into the CanBus accessory port and then took an alternative vehicle to work.  Keeping my fingers crossed . . . Thoughts?[size=78%]?[/size]

The Optimate should be able to recover and recharge it. Wait till it shows two greens and then try it, should be ok [emoji106]

Final update; success.  Left the OptiMATE 4 on for 24 hours, rode to/from work, and then overnight and I have 2 green lights indicating a full charge.
