In the past the solder joint on the keyed switch on my 650 that brought power to the switch broke on the switch and I lost all power.

Load testing is necessary when a battery is suspect.TexasKZ post=869527Also make sure the battery is fully charged and have it load tested. Battery stores and many auto parts stores will do it for free. A dead cell can act the way you describe.
We've seen many batteries that will show ~12 VDC no-load on a multimeter, but will not pass any significant current, dropping to near 0VDC under load.
Good Ridin'

has it had periods of being fully discharged then "boost charged" or "jump started" to get it back to life ?Turns out the battery was shot. I find that odd though because the battery is only a year old...what would cause a battery to go bad that quickly?

The last 2 lead acid batteries I had lasted barely a year each. One was a generic Canadian Tire brand and the other a Yuasa which surprised me. I guess they dont make them like the used to.
