Has anyone had any success with a battery other than the Yuasa YB16B-A1?

[Georgey]

Just wondering if there are cheaper or better options. Thanks.

Many, including I, have had great success with MOTOBATT. ( the yellow battery).

[Georgey]

Thanks Designer,

Are those Motobatt heavy?

Also I live around Chicago, so I get only 7-8 good riding months a year (one year I rode through winter when there wasn't snow - not doing that again). Then I trickle charge my Yuasa. It seems I have to replace them once every 2 years or so. Do I have to trickle charge? How long do they last?

It it easy to connect to the wires? I'm looking at a pic on ebay and I don't see any posts for the battery.

I've run Motobatts for over 7 years, still good.
The batteries come with all the hardware you need for easy hookup,
Highly recommended.

They are no heavier than any other battery it's size.

^^^ What he said.

You will want a "smart" charger for maintaining an AGM Battery. There's many on the Market, and many Articles rating those chargers.

Here's one for starters. (pun intended)

I had a Scorpion battery in for 5-6 years and it did great.

The one I had was the YTX16-BS-1 Scorpion 12v 220 CCA AGM ATV & Motorcycle Battery.

But if I was getting a new one I would go with the SSTX20CH-FP Scorpion Stinger 12v 507 CCA LiFePo4 Extreme High Output Battery, just for the higher CCAs.

These bikes run on the battery so a good one is the only way to go.

Thanks - If there's one thing I have learned about these bikes, is a good charged battery solves many issues. I'll check out the scorpion too.

The message I get is

Huh?

Okay,...Ill try sending you an E-mail then.

[sgtcall]

Designer, you have your PMs blocked.

Designer, you have your PMs blocked.

I do ?

How can you tell?

[sgtcall]

Because I can't send you a PM. It works for everyone else just not for you.

I just went to send Designer a PM to check it out. I don't even have an option for a PM to him.

He can easily go to his user control panel < Board preferences < Edit global settings and choose allow private messages.
Easy peasy.

[Designer]

I took Navigators advice and went to my Profile,...then the setting that would allow for PM's.

And it's turned on to "yes"...just like the E-mail setting is. (which works)

So,...Mark this guy confused!.

Could it be that your inbox is full? I don't know if that can happen but some sites do have a limit.
