MOTORCYCLE BATTERY - Anybody tried these -

I need a new BATTERY - Anybody tried these - they sell on internet and
deliver.

Any other alternatives or batteries to be wary of?

I aaaallmost bought a battery from them last year. They looked OK and the
prices were very good.
I ended up getting one of these instead.

How much did the shipping on that thing cost?

 

She charged me $26 USD:
"Hello Clem, We can only flat rate it through the US Postal Service at
$26.00 Let me know...Terri"
I think she undercharged the freight but the exchange-rate was much worse
then so I paid about $100AU all up.

 

Buying the battery is only one part of the exercise. Battery maintenance,
keeping the thing topped up and placing it on trickle charge if the bike is
not used for more than two weeks will extend the life. Replacing the
battery in autumn when you consider it is approaching the end of life will
assure reliability through winter.

Thanks all - I'll let you know how I go with it.

I agree about maintenance. Allowing a battery to sit without charge and get
lower and lower is not good for it.
Buy a low capacity charger if you don't ride every week or two. It will pay
for itself with the first battery it saves.

I have a Swedish brand called Ctek. They have electronics that allows you to
leave them on 24/7 and they won't cook your battery.
The model I bought even reserects "dead" batteries.
