Another battery !

[RoadKill]

AGAIN...I have replaced the SECOND (TWO,#2,dos!) another damn battery. This Batt. is #3 !

the walmart brand battery I was given as a gift (of unknown age) did not even last a whole year ! 

Now,after only a few miles (speedo got smashed at 60 thousand miles in 2007 ) my '98 tourer has required another damn battery. I thought these things were reliable     

I have replaced the lead acid battery with an Absorbed glass mat (AGM) battery and hope it will be superior to the factory engineered,lead acid, type that only lasted 10 years ! gotta pay to play ,I suppose

I just replaced my original '99 IS Yuasa a month ago.  Nothing wrong with it, but the ignition/coils were taking a bit longer to fire than usual, so I put the new Yuasa I got two years ago in it finally.

All my bike batteries sit on a Battery Tender 24 X7 when I'm not riding, for years.  Never lost a battery or Tender either.

Only question I have is did you charge it as instructed when it was NEW?

If not, the life span is like 1 or 2 years max.

I just replaced my Battery after 11 years of faithful service, of course it died on the way back from my trip accross the country (120 miles from home) I hope i will get the same time/distance out of this one, never used a charging system, just made sure to ride, bike has a great charger on it and you get the joy of being in the wind too
