so have we decided what battery to use yet? - sadlonelygit - 20-12-12
had the dreaded click of death last week and a 20 mile ride didn't put enough in for a start.
so have we decided that good old lead acid is still the dogs or has the agm found favour with the forum?
just asking like as a new one will be ordered just after xmas.

Buy one with the highest Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) possible.
The original had 135 CCA
The motobat in the previous post has 175 CCA
The Yuasa YT14B-BS has a CCA of 210.
The higher the CCA the less it takes out of the battery when starting.
Usually high CCA = higher price but should last better.

It was healthily cranking the bike over at about -5 degrees after I finished a night shift and scraped the ice off the bike!

used motobatt now for a while on my bikes and cant fault them, still got a yuasa 14b on the fazer and its been spot on too. Its been on for maybe 2 years and starts the bike straight up even when its left standing for weeks.
