Battery voltage check before a ride

[Alan]

Before you hit the road, have you ever thought about checking your battery voltage? I started doing this after one of my rides got cut short because my battery died definitely not a fun experience. What’s your favorite way to check the voltage and steer clear of that dreaded dead battery?

Been there too! Now, I always use a multimeter to check the voltage before I set out.
It only takes a moment, and trust me, it saves me from having to walk back.

Got a little battery tester in my toolkit. A quick check of the voltage before I hit the trail means I'm all set. It really helps avoid getting stuck with a dead battery in the middle of a ride
