All my motorcycles get their batteries from here. Quick delivery and no acid to add.

I bought this one and added the "Juice" myself.

Easy.

Curious if it said "Made in the USA/Japan" on the side as pictured as @ that price they are usually "China". If made in the USA/Japan I'm going to purchase one for back up as mine is 11+ yrs. old now.

I would say you got your money\s worth out of that one!

I recently installed one of these and so far I'm impressed with the performance and price.

It came out of the box 100% charged according to my charger and the tester on top of the battery.

I replaced my old battery with a Duracell Ultra- Duragm-14 (Seald &Maintenance Free) from Battery Plus.  :cooldude:
It has higher cranking amps than stock YUSA ( YTX14-BS) battery.  :)

I want my bike batteries to come dry with acid on the side.  That way, when I add acid and charge correctly, I know I have a new battery.

A fully charged battery starts discharging (and sulfizing the plates) right away, and as long as it's sitting in a warehouse or store.

Tell you the truth I didn't look.  It says Made in USA in the web pic so I'm guessing it is.  It's in a bike at the moment.

Opening the packaging of the battery was more work than adding the acid.  They got that down pretty good.

Exactly.  No shelf life if no acid inside.  Have it on hand before it's needed.  Put it to work much faster than waiting for it's delivery.  I stick with yuasa AGM batteries.  I've bought off brands, cheaper.  And they didn't last.  The oats are cheaper after they've been through the horse.
