I've started the bike before with no battery and ran it with the lights off (disconnected)

In fact, in that video, none of the lights are working (beginning of the thread) and the battery is dry, both leads disconnected.

It will run without charge, but I started it with a 12V battery, which was promptly disconnected after the engine started.

I do believe I will probably use the batteries for a local-use motive project of some kind, if even a scooter, else I'll sell them to someone on here that can use them. Decision is yet to be made there.
