Wanted to check opinions on the battery's plus batteries? Bought one for $60 just under 2 years ago and it is shot with only a 1 year warranty and when I took it out the battery post was cracked. I thought the posts where junk to start with trying to hook in new electrical parts with that horrible design of a nut on the post you had to screw into. I called Napa but they did not have sealed battery even though it was $45 so I bought the upgraded battery from Battery's Plus for a mind blowing $90 but at least it had solid posts.
I got two batteries from Batt + last year, a 6 volt and a 12 volt, both for old BMWs. They both seem fine however the 12 v doesn't seem to have much reserve power. No complaints so far.
unless you ride all year or put your battery on a trickle charger, most cheap batteries won't last thru the winter if they stay hooked up on your bike. i buy the expensive sealed yusa batteries most of the time because they last, and there is no battery acid spilling on anything. even then, 2 or 3 years is about average lifespan.
Just curious because I hook them up to a trickle charger once if not twice a winter for at least a few days each. I could have just switched batteries with Ryan since he suggested those batteries and his bike is in my garage taking up valuable space. :evil
A Battery Tender can be your friend. ;D

Ryan's battery had a broken post too. Note to self: Don't take Ryan's advice on batteries.
