Interesting as I had to replace my original battery and I kept one of those mini battery charged to it. I drove it today and got the LIMP HOME MODE but it acts like it wants to shut of even when I cut it off and cut it back on. I only have 3700 miles Thanks for sharing
Great video. I've got a 2016 commander and yours is almost identical with the options I've installed. I'm fighting the limp home problem and you've given me a place to start troubleshooting. Be safe out there!
I have 2013 commander with the same problem with the limp mode. Happened numerous times. The dash lights flicker. What I have done to shut off from limp mode is stop shut off and wait 10 min. and it resets itself and drives normal.
I have found that the more I run mine or crank it and let it run while I’m doing something else the longer the battery will work properly. Also I think mine does better in the warmer months than the cold but that might be because I use it more in the summer than the winter as well.
You can jumper box battery or charger to jump start but everytime it stops charging a little till it wont charge so i got a rectifyer guess what now it charges 19 volts all the time so jumper box cost me the stator/ alt and two rectifyer boxes but it took 5 years just every so often id say the batterys suck

Glad you like the video! Update on my limp home as long as I keep the battery on trickle charge before I go ride I’m good on the no limp home mode lol
If your charging it with the battery hooked up you are frying the rectifier. You have to disconnect the battery to charge it.
I didn’t realize that! Thanks for the advice. And thanks for watching the videos!
It won't with a battery maintainer....

So what was the fix?
Getting this with original battery. Purchased new in 2015… now 8 years later the battery dies while running.
