Hi. I have inadvertently connected a car battery to my bikes battery. I heard a pop. Checked the fuse which is looking intact . No power now. What have I damaged?

If you connected the wrong terminals then you have probably ferked the bike battery.

Normally connecting a battery does not cause a problem, was it connected the right way around was the bike switched off was the car running at the time which model of bike was it, difficult to give much of an answer without more info

Check you have not fried some of the bike's wiring. You could have delivered 240+ amps to 8A wire. That goes pop!



If you did not disconnect the bike's battery some of the power could have travelled through the bike's wiring loom.
