I have had batteries that seemed 100% charged but would not crank. In other words no guts left to crank. Some one else might know the proper terms for this.

Bad; that's a "bad" battery.

[Rooster]

That's the term I use.

I believe the English refer to it as a "flat" battery.

I have been having the same problem-Pulled the battery and had it load tested and checked fine. Sometimes fires right up and sometimes just hesitation like the starter is failing. Sometimes even get a long crank cycle with a nice backfire-bike is stock 2010 FLXHSE. Baffled and sometimes I long for my old 2006 simple carb street glide.

I would get the backfire too if I held the starter when it cranked hard. That's why I let off the starter right away if it cranked hard.
