Here's the cheapest correct battery. http://www.ebay.com/itm/YTX12-BS-AGM...feeba3&vxp=mtr


Bikes should be charging around 14.3-6 while running, before rectifier. Sounds like your getting things in order! Hope all is well

I bought the cheap ebay gel battery for my Red at the beginning of summer. It came charged and I have had zero complaints about it so far. Lately the price of tires and batteries have blown my mind.

Damn, $31 + free shipping? I may have to pull the trigger on one also.

i picked up the cheap ebay one for my GF's 87 SX, i think it was like 37 shipped to my door just drop in and go. still holds a strong charge after 2 years and being run once every 3 or 4 months

gel batteries are awesome!!!
the reason why batteries have dropped is there is a new technology called dry cell. it weighs like 2 lbs for battery compared to a 12lb one you see listed. also dry cell batteries can be mounted at any angle and have a much longer storage life.

I just ordered one. me and batteries have NOT been getting along lately.

Thats not a bad price. I paid about twice that for a ETX15 Big Crank battery for my 200ES. I had wet cell batteries in it before this one, they lasted maybe a year. The winter always seemed to kill them off. This gel cell ETX15 is a heck of a battery. Today at 17F (-8C) it spun her over like it was a warm spring day. Last winter i usually had to toss on my extra battery, consists of a deep cycle marine battery in a battery box which added weight for plowing but also extra cranking amps for the cold, but i don't think it will need that battery this year.

Thankfully she has a shed of her own with an outlet this winter, so its plugged into a battery maintainer 24/7 to keep it trickled all year round, thats the best way to treat a gel cell battery. Look at UPS systems for example, they use gel cells that are constantly floated also. I have some industrial gel cell batteries here under the workbench that came out of an industrial UPS in a manufacturing plant, they are dated 2006 and were removed from service in 2008. Five years later and they are still full capacity and running my UPS.

I went ahead and bought one of those off of ebay. I figured for the price, you cant go wrong. Like kb0nly said above, I paid double that for the last one I bought as well. Ill let you all know what I think when I get it.

I bought a $30 with free shipping battery on eBay for my Outlaw. I'm real happy with it!

Exactly what I bought. I'll never buy another battery from Wally World. They wanted $40 for a tiny battery for my daughter's Polaris Scrambler. I got one on eBay for $20.

Man, don't get any more economical than that. Worth a shot! On my watch list for my BR & SX as well. Thanks Doug for the lead an Tri-again for the thread!

Tri-again you just sold a good handful of batteries! I just popped on one for my boys trx90.
